I LOVE that book! I have ummm... 4 copies that I loan out to people (OK 3 copies that I loan and my own much loved, verry tattered copy). For most of my talks or trainings on autism I start off by reading that book to the group. I use it mostly with adults and it is great. So many adults say the want to understand AS but if you tell them to read Temple Grandons biography or any of Tony Attwoods books then never follow through because they are so long and require effort.
I have an awesome Pdoc and it makes such a big difference. Mine (I've only been working with her about 6 months) is really stepping it up for me right now. Meds, for me, are such a scary thing. It is nice to work with someone who gets that, builds a trusting relationship with you and gets to know you.
I tried three other Pdocs before this one and something felt off... So I started asking around to others that used one in particular... come to find out she uses the same mix of meds for every client she sees no matter what they come in for!!!!!! So... I am glad you have found a good one.
Starting therapy may also change what you need for meds so be sure to keep communication open with your Pdoc.
I am a little slow on picking up on all the abreviations round here... CSA? I hope (for your sake) that it doesn't stands for what I think it does. But if it does... been there too so would be happy to offer any support I can. At this point in my work I don't trigger so you can, if you need/want, talk as freely as you want with me.
Aaak... lost track of time! oops! gotta run!!!!!
