Headed off to my weekly therapy appointment shortly- my oasis in my sea of confusion.

There's a bunch of things going on with me health wise, PTSD wise, family wise..
The latest- my Grandkidlet is 12. He is ADHD and high functioning autistic. He is on an ADHD medicine. He has an IEP at his public middle school and does get help there.

Normally, around me, he is a sweet, mild-mannered kid. Lately, his mother ( my dd ), is receiving calls from school that he is angrily confronting teachers and the latest- he has angrily responded to kids making fun of him at school...verbalizing ...terrible things...threatening things..

We've talked to him, he's been punished, grounded, talked with, removed from class, given positive reinforcement for the positive things he does.

His PDoc and dd have arranged for his meds to be increased. We think these outbursts are happening now due to changing hormones and, perhaps, his med is losing effectiveness.

The father is not in the picture. I am dd's only family support. She won't take him to a therapist, among other reasons, because of what happened to me in therapy many years ago.

I want to help but I don't know if I can deal with this. I am, I am plugged in. It's just so hard.
