Guest guest Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Hi, Everyone........welcome to the group. I have a 20 y/o son, Gareth, with DS/Autism/OCD. He was officially dx'd at age 6. He, too, has said that he is staying with Mom and Dad.....meaning no group home for him in the near future.!!! As for the ear infections, Gareth just finished another round of antibiotics after perforating his left ear drum for the 9 or 10th time. He never complains until there is blood and puss on the pillow case from it perforating through the night. <<My name is Desi McKenzie and I am (for the past 8 years or so) a single mom from Mililani, 'Oahu, Hawaii, USA. My daughter Aubrey (dstr21,HI,ASD/PDDNOS)>> Desi...Aloha and welcome to the group. Many of our kids have additional CAPS behind their names after the DS. My son is also very OCD and use to have the ADHD label along with the ODD label for Oppositional Defiance Disorder. He's got numerous medical issues, too, like the sleep apnea, GERD, Lactose intolerance, hip dysplasia, asthma, seizures, and Sine Scleroderma/UCTD. He definitely keeps my life exciting. We visited Hawaii several years ago (second time) and I love it there!!! ....Gareth tried it but it made his asthma worse and he always had bronchitis on the Zoloft. I would not raise the dosage if he is already anxious at the current level. No med should make your child feel worse....just my two cents worth!!! Take care, Everyone.
