hey cristine,
you were clear on that i just wanted to make sure that people don't read what you said the wrong way. things need to be stated super clearly or else people pick up hope/false information etc. my boy does not have aggression issues but does have depressions issues. they are having a heck of a time treating him because of his very high iq and his refusal to take anti-depressants. he has an amazing therapist which i am very happy about and which makes me want to state that if you find a good person to work with your child it makes a world of difference!

Ok I won't get butt hurt then! LOL It's a very sensative subject, as you know! That's why I had mentioned aggression, and medication, as some people snub medication, and I just wanted it to be known that in some cases it's a god send! My son out weighs me by a good 100# and I have scars up and down my arm from past aggression episodes. We went threw 2 doctors before finding the right one, who listened to our concerns, and got him on the right meds. It was a day and night change for us. We deal with insomnia, aggression, as well as OCD, and we think he could be bipolar as well. Extremes in all cases. It's just day by day, but when you find the right combo hold onto it for dear life!
