ADHDuh!

I am seriously worried about my son and all the things that he is going through. I am very concerned at this point that there may be something more serious taking place than I initially thought. I have been doing some research on Aspergers Syndrome. He sure fits a lot of the symptoms of this and it has me worried. Of course this is a condition that can not be treated with medication. There are meds to "help" with the symptoms but oh my gosh - they side effects are completely insane and there's no way I can do that to him. We are talking possible long term effects. I am stressed by my meeting with the school today. It would seem that absolutely none of the meds he's been on for the last 4 months have been working at all - according to his teachers. I just see a different child at home than what they see at school. It's all very discouraging to me as a parent and it really hurts to know that my son is having issues at school socially and with making friends. It's sad to know that his sweetness and loving ways are not known by others because he is so misunderstood by the children his age.

Whatever

So bummed and so disconnected right now. Welcome to my funk. And to top it off, I really just don't want to do anything. Is this called depression? I'm moody and upset. Confused and aggravated. Disturbed and haunted.

H-E-L-L-O!!! Can anybody hear me?
