Not much to offer today.....yet. The younger boys are back in the creek looking for fish. Ian is still asleep. I really don't want to hear "I need to be able to draw by fifth grade! Why can't I draw?! Show me how to draw!!" for the next twelve hours. But he needs to get up anyway. "Drawing" is Ian's new obsession. Well, not too new. But still it's sometimes an all day every day thing that drives everybody nuts, especially Ian. His psychologist really wants to help but it's difficult for him to totally relate to what's going on at home because he only spends about 3 hours a month with Ian in different sessions. I try to explain "daily homelife" but it's still Greek if you don't live in the middle of it. Coping skills only work for him when the frenzy dies down; not when it's building. Do we try anxiety meds? Ian's already taking Abilify and Clonidine. I hate to add more but we didn't even get those meds until he was 8 years old. He's tried every so called ADHD med on the market and the only one that helps him to focus is Abilify ........ at $359 a month! He's a very good kid but when he's on a down slide we're all miserable.
