Family and medication: Again??

In the previous article, I share with you a regular morning at the Zoo's Black Sheep ... I grazes hyperactivity Lolo and behavioral differences from his medication. And in my head, I hear: "Still on medication??" Yep! yet ....

Frankly, the diagnosis of Lawrence (February 2010) and medication that followed has greatly improved the family lunches, decreasing by 50% impulsive morning. Today's blast of sound that arises from early morning fights between Thomas and Lolo (see aspis vs. hyperactive: BABOUM) is limited to Bang! ... Firecracker Gun!

Reduce noise, better control over the child, facilitating the role of educator ... Is this reason to medicate a child? NO! Absolutely not! And those who believe are definitely wrong. The one and only reason for me is the well-being of the child. Period.

2 children, two stories ...

Thomas atypical small aspirations. It differs from most other syndrome children is its high impulsivity. Impulsive + 0 + empathy = aggression anxiety and violence. Verbal and physical. Against objects, and to others ... I mean bite the blood, beatings, screams, Objects Launched (bowls, plates, toys, knives against people and animals). The school spoke to me then expulsion and placement in an institution for children with behavior disorders ... Over one morning, I fear for my other children on seeing a few centimeters from their face ceramic bowls or ranges. More than one night I wondered if the window of his bedroom resist ... More than a day I watch my baby spit ill-being with a strength I never knew existed in a children 6 and under ...

Then came medication. Is the same as the hyperactive and attention deficit disorder. I, who rejected this medication for my eldest son, who has seen children "zombies" via the parallel virtues of Ritalin and his family, who still struggles against the lazy teachers who want students' robots without personality and uniqueness! ; This allowed me the same medication with some reluctance and a ..... relief!

24H anxiety
24hres The first was an ordeal for me! I never see a child as my Tom during this period: he walk normally? and its language? Do I understand what he said? He area dozing? His eyes are glassy they? Seeking he sleep? No, no, no, no, no and no. Nothing. Just smile, Thomas was playing, jumping, talking, eating normally .... Normally? Ben, come on! Where did my little Tom aggressive? unable to keep a friend more than 30 minutes? throwing objects at the head of his world and yelling? The more I looked, the more my eyes widened. What I saw was a healthy child in her skin, happy and controlled ... by him!

Somewhere in these 24hres, Tom told me. "I'm fine mom." In the days that followed, crisis situations "occurred. And Tom has managed ... er .... better managed. Fini, the dishes flying. No more blows - apart his brother, of course ...

Thomas medicate for 2 years. And it is definitely a success. No. He did not become someone else. No, it does not heal. It the moderates. It allows him to better control themselves in moments of anguish, moments that still reflected by impulsivity and aggression ... lightly. Today, the threat of a school for children with behavioral problems disappeared. Today, my son has friends ... Today, when anguish comes, more often than before, he asked to isolate themselves, or does the Zen to calm ...

Medication has certainly improved my quality of life and ease my grip on Tom, but more importantly, it allows Thomas to facilitate their learning of the company managing it easier impulsive and all that follows. This is one of the best decisions I made!

Lawrence: with mild hyperactive attention deficit disorder. I previously wrote "The hyperactive is a being whose impulsivity urges him to move constantly, loudly and quickly. (...) but is angry and impulsive. "From his mother, the school principal spoke of medication for my Lolo. Seems it lacked attention, he could not sit long, he spoke without stopping. ... And OK? ... His notes? Good. His friendly relations? Good. .... Well then, why medicate? So I refused. Of course, my son climbed 3 shelves of the library before they even walk! course, so he moved 18 months ago that I avoided going to visit friends without kids (too exhausting for them). Of course, it lives for the adrenaline ... Will do with his personality.

Years have passed. Last year (4th year - 9 years), the notes began to play in the elevator. Became restless and more ... problematic. He was unable to sit on a chair. I say not. At school, his teacher told me a little nothing bothers him, it makes noise all the time ... he wears just his mouth ... And notes that fall ... 35% ... 69% ... 46% ... And the question arose: would it be a REAL hyperactive? At my request, a past for Lawrence Connor to his teacher last year, this year and myself. And that was a possibility became a reality. More as an IQ test went through school without my knowledge (!) - Sigh! - Reveals a dysgraphia (difficulty with understanding a sequence of words - Engineering in math, decomposed in problem solving / engineering reading rotten in synthesis of text).

We started the medication a week ago. Again, that is fundamentally against me, should abdicate my son feel less restless and more available for their academic learning and impulse control has considerably improved. Am I

for medication? NO! However, be refractory and closed is not a better solution. Starting a medication is not a lifetime subscription. If, after an official diagnosis, you, as parents, you do not like what's happening in your child, you have the power to stop it. Not sure this is the right solution? Talk to your doc - I feel a bit like an old TV ad !.... - And let you do a test. Your child will not have any sequelae and finally !.... YOU KNOW! :-) And it is worth all the gold in the world!

= Hyperactivity and aspirations .... Baboum! :-)

In my family zoo, there is Thomas, of course! Lawrence, his elder by 22 months, 12 years old Antoine and Little Miss Sarafaye junior. He lives in an apartment for several years and is autonomous. My daughter is a real Germaine (she manages and leads!) And I use as extra eyes and ears - what ben! my own peers I'm not satisfied! A little help is appreciated ... :-) And Lawrence .... 2nd my first child (10 years between him and his older brother, it makes me 2 first!) ...

Lolo, as I affectionately called, is my genius-gifted-athlete-art! In short, it is an all-mixed ... Hyperactive! Hyperactive as in very active? Moving without stopping? NO! as in the learning disability hyperactivity-e! ADHD ..

Good. And then? Sigh! ... The hyperactive is a being whose impulsivity leads him to move constantly, loudly and quickly. It certainly has empathy (actually, it is the best nurse I know! For ti-guy, is not nothing ;-) no offense, gentlemen! ), But is angry and impulsive.

So we have a side Mister Aspi, milk-soup, with a deficient sense of humor and a light dose of credulity. And in another corner of the ring is Mister ADHD, inattention, as bright as its opposite, knowing how to do it easily jump and therefore punish.

and go! Mr ADHD refuses to go to Mr. Aspi milk which does not say please, Mr Aspi insists that squeaks. Mr ADHD does not remove leaves and pushes toward the opposite pint of milk coveted. The cries of birds, Mr. Aspis going into high gear and launches a series of insults that even my poor mother's ears, yet who have heard others have trouble hearing. And now Mrs. Mom intervenes and the referee starts the count: "1 2 !.... !.... 21 / 2! ... And ....." zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzziiip .... the siiiiiiilennnnnnnce ... Phew!

But it was a sham because Mr. ADHD has not said its last word and thinking not looked out of his mouth a piece of pink tongue and challenging, bringing out Mr. Aspi control ... The plates fall and fall ... the insults fly low, scattered clothes. In short, Mr. Aspi take away everything that surrounds it. Time passes and soon, he finds himself half Aspi dressed, sitting in the backseat of my little Focus, wedged between the seat of his sister and his half-sister 5'9 ", all the way to school. And as an excuse to tell Lolo: I not on purpose! is part alone! "

Daily life, "stuck" between my two little devils, is rather hectic and full of bounce! Lawrence is the provocateur, and Thomas is trapped. Unlike families "conventional" level of impulsivity at the table is rather ... high.

Ayeyeye! Impulse two competing parental attention ...... That's one of my mornings ... a morning like any other home at the Black Sheep ZOO!

Who Would Win In A Fight An Orca Or A Hippo

Educator Professional but what? The bubble

For several years, children PDD, High Functioning Autism, Asperger's Syndrome and Tourette's are mostly integrated in classes "normal." Indeed, despite their shortcomings, many of these children have the ability to pursue normal schooling, with some adaptations, aids and supports. Of course, it is cheaper to the system, but that is not important because more than anything, it allows our children to learn in society, rather than exclude them. In this way, they become more socially responsive and independent in this world they certainly never understand, but they have learned to live within. Everybody wins: the governments, parents and very importantly, our children.

The teacher does not receive systematic record of the child. Difficult to help a child to walk if we do not know who he is and where he comes! Allow several weeks after school to return the said case is nonsense! Like set up a response plan in mid-December! We can not let an autistic in a vacuum! Moreover, it raises a serious lack of communication between management, teachers (one of the best resources is the teacher of the year before) and specialists. What is the purpose of having a rib if you do not mention it and if it does not explain these consequences quickly to the right people??

The teacher has a general education on the potential problem of children in schools. There is talk of ADHD, child abuse, foster care, dyslexic, etc.. Other diseases, such as those mentioned at the beginning of the article and more (!) Are given in a voluntary training offered annually by the school board. They are not part of their December and are not mandatory, even for specialized educators involved in a child affected by either of them! And they need help.

The spray needs stability more than anything. He reacts badly to changes in routines. Well ... Tom had 3 special educators .... Since the beginning of the year ... 3! Cheers stability! Specialized, but how? None of the educators called "specialized" knew Asperger Syndrome. Which they can not behave as they should be adequate. Add to that a closure of their own ... Is it not written "1000 children Asperger syndrome in 1000? "flexibility of mind is vital ... Tom and I no longer believe either.

March 2010, I'm disappointed .. . I still am fighting for that Tom can do his homework at school (I even suggested that I come and support him!), he can resume or continue an examination not completed within the time required, even if it must be delivered to another day, it is not "punished" when it did not finish his homework, but it resumed in the classroom, during dinner, recreating!. A person familiar with Asperger Syndrome knows all this and not oppose it. And Thomas could then really Focuss on their learning ...

Today, Thomas can give important information to the consequences in the classroom, something he has worked hard to acquire in recent years (the aspis have little or no empathy, including to themselves). It is often surly at home. And there is perhaps not the end as soon as Mrs A wants, it will resume its place, Mrs C has the official status of successor.

What is the purpose of providing services for special education if they are not trained obligatoiremen t have a prolonged impact on our aspis? I sincerely hope the situation stabilizes, that my son can have a helper suited to his needs. And I will continue to fight for it

HISTORY OF LADIES A, B AND C

Mrs A : The first teacher of Thomas did not have his record when we met, three weeks after classes begin. I do not understand why my son did not want to go to school, until I know that Mrs A was acting with him as with a child with conduct disorder.: Authoritarian tone of voice, breaking character , obligation to complete its work in time to have a beautiful handwriting, etc. ... It's me who told him she was the condition of my son during our first meeting. "Asperger's?" She said. I have therefore given I put the folder that generally people who have to manage Thomas without knowing what it is. And things have improved slightly. Unfortunately, she had already lost the confidence of Tom. And I had put so much energy to soften to the idea of having a specific contact person (someone else has demystified!), Who would be there for him ... After several discussions - the poor lady! She did not understand what to do with Tom. - I made the decision to act, a movement that has remained a decision because Mrs A requested a leave an indefinite period on the death of his mother. Hurry! fast! Need to find someone!

Mrs B Mrs B! no special education teacher, she took over on the spot pending the return of Mrs A. It deals mainly with "Diner" at school. She has several children in school with mine since she knows they enter school. Good news! She knows the way Tom! Having the experience of Mrs. A, I quickly met Mrs B to make sure she knew the Tom pathology. Hey no! Once again, I commend my famous case. Mrs B information, read, search and fumbles to adapt its interventions to the unique character of Tom. And it worked! She certainly had the advantage of knowing before his medication and had therefore watched outside his journey and evolution. Time passed. January arrived and Mrs A did not return. The director has made the request for an official replacement are temporary - always! - Mrs A. And Mrs B, despite a degree does not exist, really helped Tom, securing and advancing in their learning both academically and socially, was replaced.

Here is what happened to Mrs C : Again, I have requested a meeting. The lady, this time, the case between Thomas mains.Ouf! She does not know Asperger's Syndrome, but has followed a child with Tourette Syndrome. Although fundamentally different (t apping , aggressiveness, etc..), I was reassured: it must have a certain openness, adaptability.

What a disappointment! It certainly has some knowledge, but with a lack of openness and adaptation. The result is far from satisfactory.

Result? Thomas was no longer progressing. His social skills (organization, confidence, etc. ..) have stagnated as its academic learning. His speech about school at home is now the I-me-care less. That's what I see the house from school. Mrs C is not responsible for the situation. It is likely that Tom does not show signs at school. As for me, it is also part of the victims of the system ... And talk half the time falls between two stools, management saw Thomas as a "miracle" (based on the behavioral difference between before and after the arrival of medication .)...

It was not tutoring that is expected. Despite this, he obtained scores between 65 and 75% Imagine if he had the proper guidance!

Here is the result direct combination of education and specialized unsuited to their estate. Consequences that leaves an indelible mark ....

Bubble ... The famous bull ... You know? One that can be found in oneself, may matter where you are? One who is blind, deaf and mute at a time? That we talk all the time whenever one approaches the subject of autism? Haaaaa! ... This bubble then ... Yes This bubble then ...

Thomas and his bubble ... fragile ... so transparent, so nymphatique (!) it is too easy to forget. Was employed to manage it, manage it ... maintain calm, control, routine! Sigh! I forget the little bubble of my aspirations ... But voila! Last weekend, she told me .... exploded in his face!

Tom is a loner. He likes the company of others, but likes just as well in his solitude. It is not deep into his inner self ... most of the time! he did his thing, staying in tune with what is happening around him and record everything that is said! Impressively, his auditory memory! Sometimes by the time he goes back slowly, until you no longer seem far.

What it looks like Tom in a bubble?? He sits alone, quietly, in the back seat of our Caravan near sports bags stuffed ski equipment (mitts, boots, helmets, etc ...) and "box-to-lunch" (although it must do 10 kg!) and playing on his DS fingers without sound, of course! .. I almost forget its presence in the whirlwind of constant chatter Sarapouf and Lolo, sitting in the middle bucket seats! And voila! My little power, always omnipresent, is discretion. This, at least, thought spontaneous that comes into my head Funny Mom aspirations! Until my boyfriend asked him to go immediately to kindly to the famous box lunch - which is almost empty at that hour, I assure you! forward we can make our stomachs affamé.C wait is that we have been gone a good hour of our snow shelter, and bellies begin to gurgle!

But voila! Tom is no longer with us, powered in his parallel universe where only his friends have their fingerprints instead. It ignores our first application. A second soon followed, with a tone slightly more insistent! And there it is! Victory! We did it! Tom nous deigns to speak. What am I saying? words! raves by renaming it to blow insults the person who dares requested! And I look at the scene, anticipates, manages it, putting it on account of his medication the day down ... Until this weekend! How unworthy I am a mother! (Heu. .. is to not copy the "other" unfit mother ... :-))

The culprit is obvious is his bubble!! This thing is so transparent that I forgot about ... thing is that high or not, any aspirations owns and cherishes dearly, that thing .... I have not seen that day - and some other days as well - or that I packed, to make Tom a child to "normal" behavior!

And now that I got arrested, I see it, clear and well defined. This living space that Tom needs more often than we think, for this disconnect that he does not understand, enjoy and accept as ... I see the return of our day of skiing in the morning at the table, at bedtime .... it is there, present and néccéssaire ...

And that, in the open appearance of the bubble ... The bubble forgotten ... SA bubble!
