I hope for Nigel the day he does not need meds comes sooner than later. I am with Tera on the love-hate relationship with meds for my kids. The side affects are devastating to watch, but without my children can not cope. Thanks for this post. I hope for Nigel the day he does not need meds comes sooner than later.

That's just amazing. xo I love that not only is Nigel learning to manage his own behavior, he also recognizes it. That’s just amazing.

And I am with you on the use of the meds - putting out the fires long enough to teach our children how to man their own fire trucks. and it sounds like he does it brilliantly! He is incredible.

Whenever the time comes, we'll be celebrating with you. How wonderful that Nigel “learns by doing” - it’s clear he is learning to know and understand himself and his body.
