Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Somewhat Helpful
- avoid all perservities, sometimes works sometimes doesnt.
- Behavior Management Somewhat Helpful
- have done several courses and tried so many methods. at the moment just playing it by ear and dealing with the situation as it arises.
- Floor-Time Therapy Somewhat Helpful
- from a young age we have done this with both boys, semed to work better with the elder of the boys.
- Independent Living Skills Too Soon to Tell
- we have decided that what our boys need is life skills not being stuck in a class room with work they just dont get
- Occupational Therapy Somewhat Helpful
- have done this since day 1 with both boys, it has helped a little. we start seeing therapists and then we have to wait months before going again.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- we have our boys doing lots of physical excercise as this helps to keep them calm and busy. if they are not calm and busy then all hell breaks loose
- Picture / Word Schedules Working / Worked
- our youngest son users pictures fro his daily routines and it is working.
Close ADHD / ADD
my son has adhd he is 13. my daughter is 10 she has undiagnosed adhd, the specialists seems to think its harder to diagnose girls then boys.
Treatments
- Clonidine Working / Worked
- working at the present for my daughter. although she can only take it at night otherwise she doesnt sleep at all.
- Ritalin Not Working
- both my children has this and they both lost way to much weight. and it brought tourettes out in my son. made them angry and emotional. doseage didnt work for very long
- Risperdal Working / Worked
- my son is on this and it is the best yet, dont get me wrong he isnt cured but its gets us through the day 30% of the time. better then not at all.
- Fish Oil Working / Worked
- very expensive but is helping our son to concentrate more. we ahve noticed he can sit for a short trip in the car etc where as before he couldnt.
