| Is there anyone in the Planet that is still taking Vyvanse? I'm on 30 mg, and actually so are each of my kids. I find after an hour, I really start to feel "compassion" and better decision making. Usually I walk around the house in the morning, energy filled, thinking "I SHOULD get that done, and I ... |

| My son has Aspergers... he has a diagnosis and he and I have been learning and coping the best we can. My daughter, on the other hand, didn't seem to have the same characteristics as him, but still very odd in their own way. Today we got an official diagnosis for ADHD, but she is going for more test... |

Natalie isn't a wetter at all... it just seems co-incidental that she wanted to come home from school and then subsequently peed her pants. She has been crying through her simple homework lately saying, after I BEG her to explain. ... |

| My son has had a diagnosis since 2007. My daughter is in grade 1 now.... and has definately had odd tendancies too, but NEVER as obvious as my son. But the more we go along, the more difficulties she is having in school - more behavioural issues (kicking kids at school, calling to come home, peeing ... |

| Oh no... he definately has no idea what he is saying. Most things come out wrong. instead of stirring he'll "rounding it" when he got a needle for tests he called it a "circle funnel" If he does up his pants it's "turning on my fly" Everyone is either a "brother" "sister" "grandma" "grandpa" "mom" o... |

| My son.. who is almost 5.. has been officially diagnosed with Aspergers/ASD. His main issues are food (will only eat 5 things) and really has a major problem with communications and literal words. For example, today he said "Mom, Dream with the sun", but what he meant was "Mom, I'm going for a nap i... |

Did any of you feel that way too? Not sure how we will proceed from here, guess it depends on if his co... |
