M.D. is going to begin treating anxiety with medication. His take is that there is a super duper (clinical term--ha) strong neurobiological component of ASD/ADHD-I type symptoms and the correcting the proper neurotransmitter imbalance has been life-changing for many of his patients. He referred to his "hall of fame" ASD patients who, once properly (medically) treated are able to reach their potential, academically and functionally.
Will you tell us what medication that is - Ritalin, SSRIs, or what? I'm still on the no meds! Bandwagon, but who knows...wth middle school looming for next year...I might eat my words.
I will have to search for my Smart but Scattered copy again. Sigh. I hate the way these behavioral approaches colour the whole relationship with my kids - even if the do work, mostly. And hate the way my kids immediately start turning the tables on us.
Edited to say I found the thread where you explain about his SSRIs treatment.
