Speaking of meds, we were able to schedule an appointment for my daughter with a new p-doc for next week. Her old one left the practice (and I was never too sure about him anyway, to be honest), so I'm hoping this one will work out. We'd taken her off the stimulant because we thought it was making her worse in terms of aggression, and it was also negatively affecting her already low appetite. Plus she was mostly OK over the summer and the first couple months of school.

Now she keeps hitting and kicking kids and adults, despite their attempts to give her lots of breaks, have her mostly in small groups rather than the full classroom, etc. (IEP accommodations). There's no real pattern at all to her aggression, either, and she also can't really explain why she did it. So I think it's time to check into another med. Hoping something will help....
