I tell you my story..My son has aspger syndrome...He is 16 years old,will be 17 very soon..Very big boy,bigger than I am..Well anytime I corrected him and told him off playstation game to help clean he would throw a fit..One day coming home from Church I told all my kids they were not going to their room until they helped clean the kitchen.Jonathon decided he did not have to listen and I caught him on the playstation game...So I took it away from him and the next thing I knew he had punched my in my back..Well I have 3 son who at the time would not think twice about rearing up to me or hitting me when their dad was at work..So I made the hardest call I ever made in my life.I called the cops out and had him arrested for breaking my door and hitting me..He spent 3 dAYS in jail,juvenile and was released to us with no charges though due to his mental capabilities.He was given A WARNING and told never to come back again..That has made such difference in all my sons..They have not even thought about hitting on me again...Now when thinks he going to defy me,I bring that up and he listens..He made a change and working hard on his behavior now...Those three days ,I felt so guilty and so bad..My parents made me even feel worse but it was the best thing I could have done for him..

yes i agree that was the best thing you could have done for him.. my son is only 8 so that is not an option. here in texas they cops wont do anything to him because he at least has to be 10 (which he will be 9 in april)... so my only option is the hospital but his dr said he wont put him back there cause it is not working.. anything i say to him i get hurt.. last night he hit my other son in the back with a toy just for him tryin to pick something up for him.. i wish my step son would play a game ANY game.. he wont play. the only thing he plays with is his car toys from the car movie.. that is it... i tried to get him to play video games and he wont play it... he wont play outside, play board games, NOTHING.. he isolates himself as much as possible... he has the mentality of a 4 yr old but without the playing part.. and he never shows his dad this side.. it is only with me.... lilpaws.pups@... wrote: I tell you my story..My son has aspger syndrome...He is 16 years old,will be 17 very soon..Very big boy,bigger than I am..Well anytime I corrected him and told him off playstation game to help clean he would throw a fit..One day coming home from Church I told all my kids they were not going to their room until they helped clean the kitchen.Jonathon decided he did not have to listen and I caught him on the playstation game...So I took it away from him and the next thing I knew he had punched my in my back..Well I have 3 son who at the time would not think twice

Wow! That's scary situation. I think you did the right thing. My

son's 10. And he's gotten violent towards me but I could still

control him cause of his size. I had to put him on meds for his

behaviors. Anyway, don't worry about what your family thinks they

didn't have to live with being hit. And now your son knows there is

conciquences for his violent behaviors. If he hit someone out in

public he would of had to deal with the police too. I hope you

don't have to go through that again.

For the 16yo- That sounds like you did EXACTLY the right thing. You

protected yourself, and you taught your sons- all of them- a valuable

lesson. They have learned there are consequences- serious

consequences- for their actions.

For the 8yo- have you considered going to the police station and

asking them to come over and scare your son?

Hi

jojoba is a wax, it doesn't go rancid, and is very stable.

I would begin by finding out why he does so well in resourse but not in the mainstream because if he has a "one on one" all day that he is mainstreamed, she should be able to rectify any problems between him and the other children or between him and the teachers. What is the difference? If it's noise and he is not getting valuable, facilitated, social interaction, why must he be mainstreamed so much? I have home-schooled three children and there are less traumatic ways of getting a quality education.

Every district I have lived in has always boasted about their great awards in education. This is in both La and Tx but I have never been able to leave my son in those situations. Here in TX, the ARD committee wanted to put my 13 year old PDD son who looks very good (can be quite deceiving) in a classroom of 34, 8 of whom would have a special need with one teacher and one co-teacher. I'm sorry but I will tell every educator out there that that is just insane. Not only do the special needs kids get neglected terribly but I promise you that the typical kids do not get an education in that environment either. I put him in home-school co-op group classes. There are 5 to 10 children in each class with a very qualified teacher who happens to be a past home-school mom. Look into it. I also pay a tutor to spend 3 hours with him during the lunch hours one day a week, socializing with kids and

doing some academics also. I wish everyone could find something like this in their area.

It sounds like to me you are right and he is at best under a lot of pressure and over-stimulation. I would certainly go on a fact-finding mission to find out how good your para/one on one teacher is.

My son is 9 and is FHA, OCD, ODD, ADHD. Our household is complicated. He has an older sister (13) and a younger sister (4) who has Rett Syndrome. On top of all that, I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and had surgery to fuse my neck together back in the fall. My energy is ok but this issue has been getting worse and I need advice.My son has a one on one at school. He goes to resource for half hour a day but otherwise is mainstreamed. They are looking at increasing his resource to 1.5 hrs a day as he is doing very well in there. The problem is when he is in the regular classroom or other settings with a lot of people. He also has issues when he goes into the computer lab. I think the problem stems from having too much stimulation around him. He has begun to act out getting worse. This morning he got upset within 15 minutes of school starting and started to yell at his1 on 1. It progressed to him kicking her and going to the office. He and I

actually have a really good relationship with the principal. He got mad and began kicking her also. My husband went up to the school, things calmed down and he received punishments at home and had to spend his recesses today picking up garbage around the fenceline. Everything seemed fine. School calls again and said he is playing"drop dead" and absolutely will have nothing to do with his punishment. He has in the past run away from home and made comments that he would rather go to jail than to deal with everyone telling him what to do. My question is this: Should I call the local PD and have someone talk to him? Tell him how serious detention is and how unpleasant it is? I am afraid it will all backfire if I do. But I need to find something that is going to work... this isn't working. Any advice is appreciated.Syndi

[Guest guest]

Syndi—can’t comment on talking to PD, but

obviously your son is overwhelmed and frustrated like you said. Have you ever

considered sensory integration dysfunction or other things that affect a lot of

kids on the spectrum with those issues? Have you tried occupational therapy

for him to help him “right” himself? Things like swinging,

bouncing, being “brushed,” blowing, weighted blankets, intense

flavors, etc. can help him “right himself” internally and help him

deal with overstimulation, physical unawareness, etc. Perhaps some of this is

going on with him and he is having problems dealing with them which is expressing

themselves in anger and all. Somehow he needs to help himself find calm in his

life and this might help.

A great place in Ohio

that my son used (and daughter for speech therapy) is: http://www.kidpowertherapyservices.com/location.htm

This might give you an idea of what some OT services that help kids on the

spectrum can do if you aren’t already familiar with them.

I too have a step son at the age of 9. He has yet to be diagnosed with Aspergers but we are moving in that direction. He is being observed in the classroom & my husband & I will probably meet up again with the school's psychological group again here soon. I applaud you for being able to keep your energy up despite having Chronic Fatigue. Some days my energy is wiped out from stressing over what to do with my step son so I can just imagine how bad it can get for you some days. He used to be mainstreamed but he too was overstimulated and we had to transfer him to NCC (Northside Children's Center). I have liked this school from the minute I met the director. My step son has outlets available to him in case he should have a meltdown, like the ability to take a walk to calm down or go to a

seculsion room to remove himself from negative stimuli. Unfortunately he has yet to understand these forms of outlets available to him. He gets agitates very quickly & takes his anger out on his teacher or aid & on occassion gets into arguements with the children or threatens. We are lucky to have one of the best teachers there & she keeps us well informed about how his day is going, whether it is good or bad. We stay in close contact by email. My step son has this obsession with the police. He always talks about he would rather go to jail and that he deserves it caz he is bad. While in custody with his mother, she had her boyfriend try to scare him to behave good by getting the security guard at their apartment complex to "pretend" my step son was getting arrested caz he was acting bad. Well it back fired! Now all he talks about it when he was handcuffed and arrested. In my opinion, I would not suggest having the cops come by to "talk" to

him about jail. I am learning how literal Aspie children are and a good intention can be taken negatively. My husband & I have been trying to get my step son to stop fearing the police or wanting to go to jail since we got custody of him back in October & nothing has worked. The only thing I see that might work is to make a field trip out of it. Since Aspie children take in "facts" better than dealing with things in a social manner, maybe a field trip to the police station might work. But I would make it more of a field trip about our emergency team (fire dept, police dept, EMS, etc). He might not feel so threatened and see it as more informational. I wish you the best of luck with what you choose to do. I am here if you need more help.CyndieFrom: Tom and Syndi Knowlton <tomandsyndi@...>Autism and Aspergers Treatment Sent: Friday, February 27, 2009 1:05:51 PMSubject: Need advice

Could you please post your aldo and renin test results?

Val

From: hyperaldosteronism

[mailto:hyperaldosteronism ] On Behalf Of slesfam1@...

I am having problems with my potassium levels. The levels

stay around 2.7-2.9. I have been off of all diuretics and taken three potassium

pills a day with no change. I have had two ct's of the adrenals and I have been

told they are fine. My aldosterone and renin levels are within normal range,

but my endo does not trust those results due to the fact I am on Maxzide again.

I have been unable to to be without that med since I swell so much to the point

I cannot breath and my eyes swell. My GFR's are all normal as is my thyroid.The

only problems noted to date is enlarged lymph nodes to the left of my

paraaortic artery, magnesium def,vit d def,iron def,b-12 def,calcium def,sed

rate of 50. I have sharp pains in my head upon stand but my blood bressure has

been up a little lately(120-135/85-95). I am soo tired it is beyond description

Spirolactone 50mg with very little change and at 100mg I could not

handle!(Extreme nausea & heart beating weird). I have also been on Inspra

and was taken off of it due to the worst headache EVER!

Can ANYONE tell me why this may be happening? Nothing is making sense and I

don't know how to proceed.

two weeks not I have had a constant nagging headache. I have been on

Spirolactone 50mg with very little change and at 100mg I could not

handle!(Extreme nausea & heart beating weird). I have also been on Inspra and

was taken off of it due to the worst headache EVER!

Hi Val,

I have been tested for celiac but it was neg. As far as aldo & renin I cannot

get my hands on. My Endo has a CRANKY nurse that won't give it to me.Next time I

manage to talk to my endo I will try again!

All cases of PA start with adrenals that are fine. Only advanced cases show
