Guest guest Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 My son has had several bouts with puberty issues. The first was at about 14 when the hormones first started kicking in. We ended up placing him in a RTF for about 7 months so they could work on finding the right med combo and for behavior modification. This coincided with his first hormonal changes and was effective for a couple of years. Now he is going through the young adult to manhood phase and it is starting all over again. My own personal theory is that these life changes confuse his body. He is routine oriented and this throws his life out of whack so he becomes more aggressive. This time around we know what we are up against so we have become real pro-active with his med schedule. He is now 17 1/2 and the peach fuss on his face is turning into stubble, is voice is changing again, and the real scary thing is he is noticing girls. Ben has a variety of diagnosis (PDD NOS, AD/HD, MR, several aggression diagnosis’s.). We will just have to wait and see how long it takes for him and his body to work through these things this time, but we are aware of what is happening and all of the professionals are on the same page so hopefully we can work through it better this time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
