Guest guest Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Hey, how do you know you have bird mites?YOU MAY HAVE BIRD MITES IF:1.You realize your bathing habits were once used to ward of evil spirits.2. When you walk down the street and every bug in a 10 mile radius is chasing you.3. When your favorite perfumes consist of lemon scented raid and Clorox.4. When you forgo oat meal in the morning to cook you clothing.5. When you forget to balance you check book because you have spent every night of the week pricing dehumidifiers.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Tara, I'm so glad you posted. It is a good feeling to know that others face the same challenges, it really helps to know you are not alone. Please try and take care of yourself. We all get so lost in this journey and I know I have to remind myself to take some time for ME so I can be stronger for everyone else the rest of the time. It does sound to me like the meds weren't really helping him and while really difficult it is a good idea to wean him off and get these out of his system before trying something else. I have heard that our kids cycle through meds, they are on one for a awhile and it stops working and they need to be changed to another one to try and help. Lets hope that as the meds get out of his system he improves and part of the problem has been that the meds had stopped working for him but were now working against him. I know this happens sometimes. I know he isn't diagnosed but do you see a Dr who is familiar with autism? Our kids can react so differently to meds and the dosage is really a fine line with most of them. To little doesn't help but a little too much can make things much worse!! It is so hard to get it right, especially if your Dr. doesn't have experience with autism. Please let us know how it is going. I will be praying for your family, Kellie From: momtojcjj <strathcoach@...>autism Sent: Wednesday, June 10, 2009 12:25:55 AMSubject: Thank you >As I read these posts I have tears in my eyes.

He is basically "undiagnosed" , except for severe global delay, and microcephaly.. He has many autistic tendencies, including self injury, and I am starting to question bipolar as well. He has had intervention since he was around 1 yr old (he was 3 lbs 6 oz at birth, and almost full term, so a red flag was put up immediately) . His behaviors have been the main issue since he was about 2. We tried many different meds in the beginning, most that had opposite effects than what they should have. So as a result of this he ended up on risperdal, and has been on it since he was about 3. He was on a fairly high dose, especially for his age. For a long time he was on 0.75 mg twice a day. At a point he was also on clonidine (bad idea...caused other issues) and also topomax (originally for behavior, then upped because of suspected seizures...which turned out not to exist). After a stay in the hospital for a stomach flu, where he basically stopped eating for a few days, and therefor didnt get his meds (we hide it in his food) we ended up taking him off the clonidine and topomax, and lowering his risperdal. We tried taking him off that too, but just couldnt deal with him. For the last year and a half or so, he has been on .5 mg twice a day. He has gained a lot of weight. He is quite a little "chunkboy", especially compared to his 3 siblings. Because of this and other unknown side effects for being on risperdal for so long and starting at such a young age, we have been weaning him off, with the plan to keep him unmedicated for a while to see who he really is without meds....that REALLY stresses me! He is now down to a 1/4 tablet morning and night. To be honest, I really dont know if we've seen a huge difference as the meds decrease. He has always had up and down, almost cyclical behavior, although we cant pinpoint what changes to change behaviors (this is why i am questioning bipolar). He is very impulsive, aggressive (however, mostly to me, and a couple of his aides...not as much to his dad) and VERY STUBBORN. I am at my witts end. (to put it bluntly). There are days I just dont know how much longer I can live with this....but then again, do I really have any other option? My husband and I separated for about 9 mths. The stress was just overwhelming. We got back together in November, but since then seemed to have gone back to the same point we were. The stress just seems to take over. I'm at a loss. We have 3 other children, aged 18, 15, and 7. They, of course, have been affected hugely by our 8 yr old. We dont even seem like a family...just an existing unit...because all the energy and focus seems to go to our son (I'm sure many of you relate to this), and our marriage is suffering again. We don't fight...we just exist. And he just doesnt seem to completely understand my frustration and my problem with dealing with our son, because they seem to relate much differently. I basically feel like a failure as a mom to him. Nothing I do seems to work, or change things. No matter what behavioral "tactic" I take, whether its ignoring the negative behaviors, or reprimanding and attempting to give time outs etc (I cant physically move him to a time out anymore), nothing seems to make a difference.I'm sorry to drag on so long!

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Welcome to the group Tara. I am the grandmother of a 16 year old autistic grandson. I diagnosed him when he was two and a half and have worked with him every day since. I have a Ph.D in human development, sociology, and psychology; I am also a LMFT and was in private practice until I diagnosed Karac and started working with him. I still teach sociology and psychology part time for one of our community colleges. I tell you this to let you know that I am not totally ignorant; I am ignorant, but not totally. LOL, LOL, LOL. None of my knowledge or work with Karac could make up for my DIL and son's ignorance and refusal to love him or learn how work with him. When I read posts like yours, I think, "Why didn't Karac have a mother like her?" So I want to tell you what a wonderful mother you are, and I want to tell you that your family is blessed, and I want you to value yourself and not be discouraged. Your labors of love will not fail because we have the promise that "love never fails". Hang in there. Love and blessings, Pat K Thank you >As I read these posts I have tears in my eyes.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Tara, I feel for you. I really do, and alot of what you said, I have been there too, alot. I know, believe me. There are days when I think how can I go on another day? I just dont know how I am going to do this. But, I do, as hard as it is. I have 3 kids. Lexie is 13 and NT, is 10 and HF Autism SID and a tic disorder and who is 6 has LF Autism, a seizure disorder, moderate MR, SID, Visual processing disorder, mental age 18 mths-33 mts across the board, OCD and ADHD which are the new diagnoses now. It is so hard. I am married and my husband works 2nd shift so I act as a single mom alot of the time. Take care and vent to all of us when you need to. It does help and we are all here for you.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 >Hi Kellie, thanks so much. Yes, we work with a child psychiatrist from our childrens hospital that has worked with many many different diagnosis. Every doctor or therapist that has worked with him have described him as " a very complex child " lol. Which unfortunatley does not give us many answers! We have done a lot of genetic testing also, which has either come back negative or inconclusive. We'll see what he's like once he fully comes off the risperdal. I'm not sure why they are so sure that he is not autistic, as he shows many characteristics of it. However, he is very social, especially with adults. He seeks out attention, whether it is positive or negative, which is why we really try to ignore the negative behaviors, and praise the positive ones. But this is hard to do when he is hurting me, for no apparent reason, right out of the blue. I don't know how long we should (or can) wait to discuss introducing a different med, but we'll see.
