[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in the minority but think he doesn't need meds but just some therapy. All those behaviors are not severe enough to put him on meds that seem to change his personality. He's not hitting or running away or flunking out of school as far as you've mentioned. Does he have a therapist? [b]What about social skills groups?[/b] It sounds like he's a very active kid who embraces life and I would try to work with a therapist or group that thinks this is a good thing rather than a doctor who will medicate him. I love the idea of a forest in your car. We have an NT DS who does that and it's definitely an annoying habit but if you spin that around to the positive it shows he's a very curious kid.[/quote] Most social skills groups will not take a kid like this. He has to be able to participate in the therapy. Being defiant, argumentative and not being able to stop moving is not a good candidate for therapy.[/quote]
