[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of them, yes; the other only when he is on stimulants (and then he isn't very hungry but he'll engage). On the weekend, he cannot have a conversation during dinner. It's impossible.[/quote] Thank you. How old are your kids? Also my kids switched from stimulant to antidepressant a year ago and we have noticed that the conversations halted when the stimulant stopped. He has kept his grades up so we havent pressed for the stimulant to come back just so we can have a dinner conversation but hoping our neuropsych in the spring will shed further light on the the right med. Just hoping he is talking with others at school. [/quote] They are 11 and 13. I don't like the stimulants, evenings and weekends (med free) are rough but they have really been life changing for the whole family, now that he can actually engage (sometimes). [/quote]
