[QUOTE="buddy, post: 474610, member: 12886"] doctors will say that, but we all know in real life that is not true. my son has trouble with short acting ritalin...huge rebound at end of dose so xr (concerta form) works better. why not the opposite, if a child can't handle it being in him for a long time....maybe traces of it stay in him even longer than they think so his body never gets a break...who knows. Everyone metabolizes things differently and you are the expert. Just tell them you want to know and if there is no difference then go back to short acting and compare. Easy way to see. The other issue may be just that his body can't handle THAT entire kind of medication anymore. My son can't use adderal. it doesn't work at all. Ritalin and Concerta work for him well though. Why just on saturday? in my humble opinion, many kids on the spectrum need and are comfortable in a routine (even if they dont like what they are doing) have a hard time changing and so that first day off is a huge deal. It could be that of all the days at school, for him Monday might be a little harder too but maybe not since they are probably so consistent in their routine and he is used to it. I have seen this many times with my son. School knows Monday is a wash. He always has trouble getting into their routine and I simply dont have the things they have to keep him in their routine. NO gym, no pool, no long halls for walks, etc. He is really rigidly scheduled there so he comes home, gets to do our routine which is not stressful for him because it is mostly his high interest areas, and then he goes back to school and it is a huge shift. Very common issue with kids on the spectrum. [/QUOTE]
