Guest guest Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Hello Everyone, My name is and my son Nick is newly diagnosed with AS. I am feeling pretty overwhelmed with this. I am slightly releieved because we now have answers that seem accurate but worried none the less. He was first given the DX of ADHD and ODD, then that turned into Biopolar and now after more extensive testing he was diven the DX of AS. He is 6 1/2 years old. He is pretty intelligent but will blow up and have tantrums for the littlest thing. He has sensory issues with the seems on his socks and has to wear them inside out, he would much rather be naked then anything else. When he gets into an uncomfortable situation he will transform into his alter ego " Buggy " his posture, voice and mannerisms change. He has little to no friends all though he wants them. He has always been the " difficult child " . He punched a little girl and knocked out her tooth because she was speaking spanish. I think he couldn't handle the sound. He is currently taking Tenex, Risperdol, and Rittlin. These meds have not been adjusted since the new diagnosis. We have a med appointment next week. I need help, I have no clue what I am doing!!
