| I think the doc was hoping the kapvay would help balance out the anxiety that went up with the stimulant. The doc that prescribed is his neurologist. They said that he rarely writes for antidepressants and to probably take him to a child psychiatrist. |

my guy who just turned 7 will only wear gym type shorts around the house. He wears a t shirt and stuff if we go out but I'm telling you his shirt is off faster than lightning when we walk in that door. Comfy gym shorts and luck that he is a boy is all that I have to offer  |

My son is going to be 7 soon and DX Asperger's and ADHD.
He loves milk, 2% or whole he doesn't care. He drinks up to half a gallon of milk everyday! He is not overweight and is very healthy.
Anyone else have a kid obsessed with milk? |

I just now saw all the further replies.
I really appreciate all of them. Chronos you are right, it is hard to put myself in his shoes. I am going to continue to let him kinda try to navigate his own little convos for now. Unless of course it seems dangerous.
Thanks again!! ! |

| ty so much for your quick reply! Joe is normally very reserved unless it is another kid his age, then he maybe will come out of his shell.
