  1. My Brian, age 11, used to love Thomas the Tank Engine at age 5, but his oddest obsession as a preschooler was streetlights. He knew exactly where the different types were, which ones were burned out, and could discuss the light-sensing timers that they used. Now he is very interested in rocks & minerals, Star Wars, and coins. He is afraid of motorcycles and trucks, anything that makes a loud noise. Interesting how similar the obsessions & fears are.

  2. Thanks to those who answered. I will try to find the book you recommended. Things are a little better at the moment -- the nice weather means I can send him outside to get rid of some stress and excess energy!
  3. Hi -- I'm new here and have been having a horrible month with my 11YO AS son. He had been on Risperdol for aggression but it was becoming less effective and the dose kept having to be increased. He was switched to Abilify but this made him very restless and agitated. Then he was switched to Seroquel, which is worse. He is very strong and my 15YO daughter and I are afraid of him. In the past he has come after me with scissors and knives, and although he hasn't been that bad lately, he still puts holes in the walls and hits me and classmates. He also takes Prozac for OCD and Adderall for ADHD. I have asked his doctor about taking him off the Adderall, but she thinks this is a bad idea. Can anyone offer me any advice? Debbie
