    What do I ask my pedi? (Updated pg 2)

    That is how my DS7 acted on the Daytrana patch. We switched to Vyvanse and the only side effect is mildly decreased appetite. My DS11 is still on the patch and doing very well. We had to change DS11's medication four times before the patch.

    School issues - ADHD - at my wits end! UPDATE: we changed schools!

    My DS10 has Aspergers and ADHD. He has taken Adderall, which worked ok but we would have meltdowns every evening, Focalin (cried and raged all the time), Strattera (did nothing for him), and finally Daytrana Patches. Daytrana works great for him, it wears off gradually and there are no valleys...

    Need advice -- casual Birthday Party invitation

    We went to the party, DS had a wonderful time. There were about 15 kids there and DS knew about half of them. When the birthday boy saw my son he said I didn't know you were coming to my party. My son replied you invited me 2 weeks ago. The mom was standing right there and she did look a...

    Need advice -- casual Birthday Party invitation

    About two weeks ago, my DS 10, ADHD Aspergers, was invited to another Aspie's bday party. We ran into him and his mom at a store and they started talking (knew each other from school). His Mom took down my tele # and address and said they would be having a party on the 28th and invitations...

    RoadRunner Shuttle

    Has anyone used RoadRunner Shuttle to get to Grand California Hotel from LAX? Were they on time, courteous drivers, and clean vans? I have been reading horror stories about the other shuttles -- not being picked up on time, not being picked up at all, dirty smelly drivers, smoking...

    Boy Scouts of America

    DBIL and DB are both Eagle Scouts. DH was in cub scouts but there wasn't a troop near where he lived, and his DF was not a fan of scouting, so he never made it past Webelos. My DS10 has been in since tigers. He has aspergers, adhd, and visual processing problems. The other scouts have...

    Where can I get a clear, plastic card/pouch to hang from lanyard?

    I bought one with a princess logo at the Main Street Shops in MK. It attaches to my lanyard. My DS has one with Pirates theme. It holds room keys, tickets, and FP. It will not hold the GAC.

    Bill Richardson endorses Obama

    The reaction of some of Mr. Clinton’s allies suggests that might have been a wise decision. “An act of betrayal,” said James Carville, an adviser to Mrs. Clinton and a friend of Mr. Clinton. “Mr. Richardson’s endorsement came right around the anniversary of the day when Judas sold out for 30...

    Down time for ASD kids

    In the MK we like to ride the TTA in Tomorrowland. They allow you to stay on as long as you want. In EPCOT there are many many places to unwind. In UK the gardens behind the shop, in Morocco there is usually an empty room at the front of the structure that is very cool and relaxing. In...

    PBH Deluxe Rooms - Sofa Bed?

    Some of them do. It really isnt very big. My DN 12 slept on one in May. It was just big enough for him. I requested a deluxe room with the sofa sleeper when I made the reservation.

    School Issues

    I don't know that much about bipolar and school but I do know that I can put items in my DS 10's IEP about behavior. I strongly urge you get in touch with a support group dealing with bipolar that can help you understand your child's rights to a Free Appropriate Public Education. I googled...

    That is exactly what happened with my DS. ADHD then finally diagnosed Aspergers. His grades are excellent and no meltdowns at school. We have our first meeting with the school in 2 weeks and I am really afraid they are going to try not to give him anything but a social class that is open to...

    Calling All Teachers-help Needed

    My DS 10 was diagnosed with ADHD in 1st grade and we didn't medicate till 2nd. We are currently on the 5th medication -- Daytrana patch. The first 5 meds mostly worked well for him (the 3rd one didn't) but the side effects were troubling. It is a matter of trial and error to find what works best.
