| @DW_a_mom: Nathan seemed to be happy about the wedding. He considers my husband his dad because his biological dad has never been in his life. We were engaged 7 months before getting married and we have all lived together for 6 years. It never seemed like the engagement or pending wedding bothered h... |

| @ASDMommyASDKid: Nathan is off all medications at this time. He just takes nutritional (over the counter) supplements. It has been two months since he stopped the antidepressants and has been on no medications since then. He does not go to school during the summer, so he was home with me and his sis... |

| My son, Nathan, is 11 years old and in 6th grade. He attends a private school for children with autism and is high functioning. On top of the autism, he has ADHD, ODD, and developed severe OCD approximately 14 months ago. The OCD has been debilitating, so we opted to try antidepressants which is the... |

| Well, I am back for an update. First off, as a previous poster suggested, yes, I did abandon this post after seeing how things had gotten "out of control". It isn't that I was being closed minded about suggestions or input (after all, I did post on here asking for some insight into what ha... |

| There is some sort of connection between the vomiting and the behavior. He doesn't get sick often, but he had a similar problem a little less than two years ago. He needed to throw up, but refused to go to the toilet. He just paced and cried. When we finally got him into the bathroom, he started sla... |

| Tonight my nine year old son with PDD-NOS attacked me. He was nauseated and acting panicked. I got him to take a shower and after, he said he felt better. He (Nathan) asked me to lay in bed with him. We were laying together in his bed, talking and cuddling. Nathan fell asleep, so I tried to get up. ... |

| @ Waterfalls: Nathan doesn't require a huge amount of supervision, but he gets it anyway. I always know what he is doing and where he is. He seems to be annoyed sometimes at always having mom and dad there, but we live in a small house and my kids are my world. We do a lot of stuff as a family and I... |

| Also, a bit more clarification: The reason I am feeling this is a dilemma and feeling "guilt" is that Nathan keeps asking to play Minecraft. Or to watch Frozen on his computer. His eyes will be tearing up and his voice cracking because he wants to use the computer for these supposed "... |

| @ Waterfalls: It's both: protection and discipline. Nathan loves the computer for games, especially Minecraft, and for some child friendly websites, plus youtube videos of piano playing and some other good things, but EVERY time he says he wants to play a game or watch a movie on his computer, we al... |

He now goes to an all-day Autistic private school with children with varying degrees and diagnoses of autism spectrum disorders. Although Nathan has been doing well ... |

| My son's Psychiatrist and Psychologist worked out of the same office. The Psychiatrist decided to close up shop, so my son lost both his Psychiatrist and Therapist with about 3 weeks notice. Add to that, they had no idea where to refer me. I live in Northeastern Oklahoma, and this was the only Psych... |

| Yes, the problems are mostly at school. He has a terrible attitude and is defiant when at home and with extended family, but the majority of the violent behavior and cussing is at school. He was sent home again today for ripping the white board off the wall, throwing it at the teacher and cussing in... |

| My son started first grade back in August. He had his ups and downs in Kindergarten, but did well overall (he is very smart - his intelligence is not a concern at all at this point). He is at the same school with the same special education teacher, same aides, same speech/occupational therapist, sam... |

| Since my son first started exhibiting the signs of autism when he was about two years old, I have insisted that I would not medicate him, that I would find other ways to deal if he was autistic. Nathan is now five and a half years old and diagnosed with PDD-NOS. He is intelligent and funny, and he i... |
