People and family members broke me down so I finally consented to try ritalin in 2003. After 2 weeks he was chewing his tongue raw and has autism symptoms and tourette's syndrome symptoms. Took him off immediately, and he's pretty much calmer now. Still has some symptoms, and he is completely fixated on certain things like movies, cartoons, and numbers. He used to be clingy but now he likes a lot of alone time! So... I can relate.

One has the Aspergers form and the other is just labeled as having an AS disorder. If I was growing up today I would probably be labeled with Aspergers. An interesting side note, both of my brother's children are on the AS rainbow slide. So I guess I'm trying to say I can relate. And staying at home takes lots of patience! I've been a stay at home mom for 17 years and we home school. Some days I feel like I'm going NUTS!!!Twixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03112782947827710096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390497821670599094.post-67306446225016408672010-07-24T21:01:07.717-07:002010-07-24T21:01:07.717-07:00You KNOW I feel you.

If you remember, Conor vomiting over POTATO is what caused the huge Thanksgiving blowup! I also know what you mean about it never being quiet unless they're asleep. Even when Conor is playing his Wii, he is constantly chattering, singing the Mario theme songs or yelling at the game. OR, he's perseverating on some particular word or sound over and over and over again. I try to remember a time when he didn't talk at all and I worried whether he would. Sometimes, even that isn't enough to stop me from saying, "Would you please stop talking for five minutes?!?"<br /><br />Just want you to know that I feel ya and you're not alone. <3GClef1970https://www.blogger.com/profile/02027258605839422577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390497821670599094.post-70935332602851575092010-07-20T07:05:42.499-07:002010-07-20T07:05:42.499-07:00I have three teenagers and one preteen and I ALWAY...I have three teenagers and one preteen and I ALWAYS want time alone!!
