[QUOTE="lovelyboy, post: 572075, member: 8045"] I agree with the other posters.....My son has much the same bunch of symptoms! It truely sounds as if you might need a fresh look at your difficult child from a medical point of view? some one who really listens to you and all your concerns....... The psychiatrist stucks to her diagnosis that my son has Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) not otherwise specified ( Aspie - lite :) ),with traids of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and anxiety.....He also have Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and sensory integration disorder, motorplanning stuff exct. Kids on the spectrum usually do have sensory issues, Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), anxiety, ODD behavior ( because they dont understand context), mood disregulation, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) traids exct. When you put ALL these together, you usually end up with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).... My son was put on AD.....but still had bad temper meltdowns, so the neuro added Risperdal.....The psychiatrist now wants to change the Risperdal to Abilify, because he picked up alot of weight. This helped alot!!!! We got our family life back, well allmost, still need to have bounderies in place, routines, exct. A VERY important thing to remember with Abilify or Risperdal, please listen carefully, the neuro and clinical psychologist confirmed this: If the dosage is to HIGH.....the irritibility can get worse! My son is only on 0.25 ml Risperdal and is 9 years old...it works great! the moment we up the medications, he gets more irritable and anxious! [/QUOTE]
