that is why I suggested seeing a behavioral or occupational therapist....

New approaches I am sure are being attempted everyday, and all are some derivation of conditioning. Its a very complex field where something great like biofeedback can be invented and something terrible like assisted communication with autistics can be used and wrongfully promoted.

I am wary of medication because why introduce a mind or chemically altering substance into a child whose body chemistry and physiology is not yet fixed and can be easily influenced (whether beneficially or to the child's detriment). That is why I say avoid meds when possible.

So TX Green Eyes, it seems you have done your homework....but again, the best approach is one that comes from all angles. If all the experts you have consulted says your child needs meds, use them, but do not neglect the other side which is the behavioral adjustments and conjunctive therapy.
