Well that takes the guessing out of whether my son is BP or not. He's going to split an atom, not sleeping he'll lay down until we go to bed then get up at least he's laying down, he's hearing things too. We're going to white knuckle it until he meets his new pdoc. I have a week until I do my psych intake.

Maybe he needs seen "now".

His intake pdoc gave us permission to up his abilify if needed. I'm not convinced he needs CMHT yet.

ok

did u check the kids hiding spots to make sure does not have a stash of sugar that he is eatting at night

he could be like me when the sun goes down i get energy i was like this all the way back to as far as i could rem ........i would only sleep when i had too otherwise i be up doing something

as for hearing things ...........i thought i did at one time but figured out it was a real noise .....i can hear those ultrasonic bug repealler things ........i can hear cop cars that are several blocks away ...........when i did the hear test as kids the lady was always shocked that i would hear those first 3 tones ......the highway and train tracks are about 3 miles away from me i can hear them at night .......heck the race track on 80 is about 15 miles away i can hear those engines if the wind is blowing right at night times

I thought i did at one time but figured out it was a real noise I'm like that too. He doesn't have super hearing and I'm so thankful of that. His hearing was checked about 6 weeks ago.

He'd have to smuggle sweets in. The sweetest thing we have is banana's, no chips, or cookies. We have "Break and bake" cookies, microwave popcorn, and sweets that need to be baked but nothing fast to snack on because we don't want mindless eating. I hope we would hear if he was cooking.

I do plan to get a full blood test before his next appointment.

dang that was my best guess

only thing i can offer u then is .......have u gotten him some puzzle books ......something he can do for 30 45 mins before he goes to sleep wear the little mind down so it is tired and sleeps ..........my older brother would let me play on his atari before it was time to sleep to wear my head out

the only down side about it is i now beat games and stuff like that in 30 to 60 hours of playing so i go tho alot of games in a year

[Justugh]

oh if he can read.........what about choice your own adventures books

he reads some then gets a choice of actions and turns to that page and keeps going so the books are never the same and the idea and thoughs played out in your head is fun and wears it out

[Victoria'smom]

He devours books but he gets so rapped up in them he wont sleep. I never thought of something like Sudoku.

if u have a few bucks u can do what i did for nephew

i got him a kindle fire .......his own personal one
his parents set up the time locks .........hour of games 2 hours of reading 30 mins of videos
then it will lock up until 8 am and he can have it back when he does his homework

plus car trips both wade and cindy hugged me and said thank u ..........i gave it to him before a 18 hour car ride to Florida
