now 5 years later I wonder how you and your son are doing? My son is 7 going on 8 in March. He has been diagnosed with PDD-NOS and ADHD. his psychiatrists thinks he has a mood disorder and really doesn't see the autism. He is very disruptive at school although we have seen great improvements in the home and with his siblings. But at school he says awful inappropriate things. He constantly argues with the teacher and has difficult time with "no" he just can't comply with normal requests. I have tried everything. Been working with a team of docs for two years. Did O/T, speech, weekly therapy and now we are starting group. He has a psychiatrist and after making threatening remarks to students and teachers in school for the past two week have decided to start Abilify today. I am scared and nervous. I want my son who is very bright and sweet and happy to have a normal life. I want him to not have to worry when I am not with him which is only when he is at school. I wonder how you have made out through the years. What to expect and where I am headed. What will happen when he's 15 and doesn't want to take medication anymore? Anyone know. My doc say not to worry about that now, but what I do now effects his future life and I won't be able to watch him 24/7 when he grows up. I'm so worried for him. I also notice that giving him non processed food, no dyes or sugar make a huge difference but the rest of the family doesn't get it so he gets it at times and I see behavioral issues are 100% worse when he has for example McDonalds. Has anyone looked at other homeopathic ways and have you been successful at all?
