[QUOTE="family mum, post: 525751, member: 14457"] I never rule out any possibilities. His eegs have read clear since 2008, we have weaned him off1 medication in may 2011 and the second in sept 2011. We saw neurologist on Tues and next scan is scheduled for aug. to be sure that he is still seizure free without medications. For years we have "blamed" behaviour on either the effects of the seizures or side effects of medications. Previously the behaviour was more intermittent and followed in waves: a period of a few months without anything then building up in frequency of events and then dropping off again. Now since he is in high school (middle school for you, I think) the frequency and intensity of his meltdowns have escalated beyond reason. The seeming intentionality of his behaviour is fairly new ( year and a half) as is his complete lack of remorse. His meltdowns can blow out in under an hour but he can also get stuck in them for hours on end. In the last month I have had to call the police twice (It is what our case worker told us to do), the most recent being this past Sat. when we were in a crisis form noon to 7 pm. Only the (very patient) police presence in our home for more than an hour and their " promise" to him that if we had to call them back that they would be arranging transport to the hospital, finally broke the cycle for the evening.
