Guest guest Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 Well, to sum it all up, you just described very typical autistic spectrum behaviors...unfortunately you get to experience it five fold along with them feeding off of each other's behavior! I truly do not know how you manage to maintain your sanity at all, not even a smidgeon! Most of what you described in JJ is what I live with in . seems to be different than most of yours, unless he more closely matches up with , except for the being brilliant part. Then again, he is also similar in ways to without the BP problems. I know how chaotic it can get when my two are not balanced well on meds, I can't even imagine adding any more to it, yet you live it daily. I truly wish there was something I could do to make things easier for you :-( The only thing I can offer is the knowledge that if JJ gets the right med combo for him, I'm sure he'll level out as well as has (at least for now). Sending energy and strength your way.. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 : I just don't know what to say. It sounds awful. I can see some of my life in there, but multiplied. Hang in there. I hope it gets better. I really do.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2003 Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 Yikes. And I thought my house was crazy. Jacquie H Annoyed and Irritated may be very verbal but I am sick to death of it right now. He is argumentative, whiney, obsessive, pedantic and annoying beyond belief. He cannot put away anything or be of any assistance. He so completely does not get it. He cannot accept no. And it's not his fault. And he won't shut up. He's eleven and we are still holding his hand, supervising him like a much younger child. 's second name after the Obnoxious, is the Destructor. Everytime I turn around he has taken something out, taken something apart that isn't supposed to be apart, or broken yet another toy. Or he's at least half naked. If he isn't doing that he is announcing that I have to hold his bowl/book/toy, or pause the movie because he has to go pee. I live to hear, " MOOOOOMMMM, come wipe my butt. I pooped. " And everytime he thinks you are annoyed he wants a hug. He spent all day invading everyone's space and he won't stop. He's hanging off my shirt or crawling over me and I am ready to pull my hair out. is glued to me almost constantly. He needs to be physically attached to me and I must be in sight at all times. If I am not in sight than he MUST be with me, hanging on me, whining at me, screaming about what, I do not know, or nursing. He must sleep on me or he does not sleep long or well, which means I do not sleep long or well. If would not invade his space he would not scream and hit as much, but that isn't going to happen. Gail is still continuing with pulling out hair and tearing her nails. Now she has very thin, and a bit shorter, eyebrows. She's holding her own in school so far, but this fainting thing bothers me. And she still is a disaster with her stuff, spreading it like a plague from one end to the other and helping herself to anyone elses. She has no common sense at all. None whatsoever. She has no concept of personal safety. will be home for summer, and while she has done well, she still is greatly overwhelmed by social issues, and I'm sure will have a very hard time with the stress and chaos at home. She does not have much ambition for college and would blithly hide away if allowed. She is so brilliant but I will be surprised if she graduates college frankly. I don't care if she ever uses it, but I would like for her to have a degree. It will never hurt her, but she will do what she wants as she is very set in her decisions.
