This doctor is not a fan of medicating.

He told me that ritalin will not work for her.

He has said that she needs alot of testing...

I will take everyone's advice and be cautious and ask alot of questions, either way it's a long road ahead.

I'm anxious to get started at helping dd have a better quality of life as well as us... taking her out shopping is an ordeal because she will have a meltdown in the store and not care....

I need the tools to learn to handle these meltdowns and how to modify her behaviour...

I am not a fan of medication.... she has already gained 20 pounds on risperidol and she was already overweight...so now i'm more careful...

I am encouraged now that we can help her...


Thanks for all your help
Cindy
