Thanks DeeDee,
Beyond fears of an adverse reaction, I am worried that it wont be the "magic" that my DD seems to be hoping for.
For every time I tried to warn her not too expect too much, someone else (diagnostician/doctor etc) would tell her it will make an amazing difference almost immediately! Of course then they tell me that the medicine is just part of the solution and that she will need to work hard on her skills blah blah blah - but I think all my DD is hearing is the first part. The diagnostician did tell me that once on the meds, she would be more likely to recognize the need to work on the skills and would probably be more willing to do it.
Fingers crossed, "upward spiral", I like it!!!
As for the Aspergers, the commentary was not in the diagnosis, just in the report since they had rated the GADS. The diagnostician really didn't want to go with that since she said she can usually tell within minutes if someone has AS and she just didn't see it in my DD.
