Cariad Report post Posted November 24, 2005 Hello, i've just joined today, i have a son toby who is almost 10 and he has Autism/ADHD and Tourettes. Life is hard with him, he is aggressive and can be physically aggressive too. ATM he is on Equasym three times daily. i'm hoping this will help, as on no medication he is very hard work and out of control. ATM he is going to be moved from his mainstream school (he's in a special unit) to god knows where, as they can't cope with him. He has a 1-1 but not for long. His obbsessions are Mosquitoes, soft toys and felt tip pens and of course the computer. He can program a computer and do mini movies and is always on here. I have 2 other children caitlin 7 and hope 5. They find it hard with him too, as lots of things are difficult for us. such as outings etc. So pleased to meet you all drop me a line anytime tracie_radiohead@msn.com and i'm happy to be a part of this forum Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
