[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 252284, member: 3444"] Thanks TM. I'll try that tonight if he's still spinning like last night. It's becoming more obvious that his afternoon dose of Seroquel XR is only lasting about four hours before the impulsivity is back, the restlessness, boredom, zooming around, talking more and more, intrusive behavior, etc. We went for a hike this afternoon and he was very wound up. Marched at a quick pace ahead of the rest of us. Just wanted to keep going and going. Couldn't keep quiet when we were trying to observe some wild life and he scared everything away. Insisted on whacking plants and rocks with his hiking stick he'd brought along. When I took his stick away after he kept ignoring my requests for him to stop swinging the stick (he almost hit some bikers who rode by us on the trail), he stomped his feet and had a little tantrum. Really annoyed difficult child 1 and easy child who kept shushing him. ;) Complained about being bored on the way back, even though it was a different route (not the one he wanted) than we took on the way out, and even though this hike was his idea. It was like having a toddler with us. I'm tired just from redirecting him the whole time. When we got back home, he helped himself to the TOPS off some muffins I'd bought at Costco, and left the mess all over the counter. I had him clean it up and now he's in the tub getting himself cleaned up. Everywhere he goes he leaves a trail of mess and/or destruction. No wonder I never feel caught up on stuff around here...
