My son has been on Daytrana patch since February. He currently is at 20 mg. I feel like it is not working at all. He is more irritable, aggressive and impulsive. He cannot swallow pills due to sensory issues. We previously tried Focalin XR (he kept chewing the beads) and Vyvanse (increased tics). I was wondering about Methylin as it comes in a liquid or chewable or Dextroamphetamine which also comes in a liquid. Anyone have any experience with these???? Thanks!
My child has been on adderal for 10 years and risperdone it works well for her
My daughter was born 28 weeks prem. She was diagnosed with ADHD and ASD in November 2023. She’s 5 years old and does present with poor executive functioning skills and has been doing OT for the past 2 years but now we need to start Speech Therapy to assist with her expressive language. Any advice on what sort of speech therapist with specific skills that they have done would help so much! Does DIR floor time and Ayes Sensory Integration assist in helping a kiddie with ASD. Thanks so much 😊
Was your child a micro preemie? Did they have anything like a Grade III brain bleed? The downside is you generally get stuck with whatever OT they have or s, l, p, but what you can try and do is stack… read more
My son just started something my wife is bringing him to for neurology for brain improvement. It's a six week therapy that is supposed to improve communication, behavior ect. If it does not work we will put him on medication to calm him down. Has anyone ever heard of this or used this treatment for autism? Thanks all for answering my question and your time. https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa...

When I do try to take him potty he just sits on the toilet and flushed and flushed than gets up and walks away.
It is difficult. But it’s difficult for parents of all kids because there’s no exact timeline and it’s frustrating and it seems endless when you’re doing. Just know this that he will eventually get… read more
My 21 month old son has a lot of fits, never seems happy or satisfied. He has a severe speech delay along with several obsessive behavior problems such as stimming will running along objects, and he takes anything he can hold in his hand like cars, shapes, puzzle pieces and turns them in circles over and over. He has been in birth to three program for 4 months but so fair no improvement. I'm reading a lot of good things about vitamins and suppliments helping other kids. I want to try something… read more
I can highly recommend trying a gluten free diet from experience with my son. His sleep improved dramatically and then we saw more improvements in his speech and gross motor skills as well as general… read more
Has anyone used l-theanine (it is natural, from the green tea plant) with their children to help ease anxiety?
My 5 year old with anxiety uses it, going on about 5 months now. I noticed a change at first but now feel that anxiety is creeping up again. We have recently stopped cbd so that could be the reason… read more

In Wisconsin you can take them to a driver examiner,they can test them on a car simulator to see how there response is when driving. It is a great test,then they,your son, will also know if he is… read more
She’s independent for the most part. But we are still struggling with her being able to independently put on, and take off shirts. She’s still wearing pull ups at night, because she will have accidents. Does anyone else struggle with these two issues still? Idk what else to do. We’ve worked with a O.T. For years with the shirt problem’s, and the overnight potty training but nothing. 😩
I dont think either are uncommon here 😳. But i do think both improve in time. Hopefully someone can give you some suggestions. But you are not alone with these sort of struggles
Once we got our sons thyroid sorted out, we looked into cortisol, and that too. As low. We're giving him adrenal support and his energy is so much better. We t Reid both forms of carnitine, seemed… read more
