What drives every parent to near insanity? : a child that does not stop saying "no". Well, right now Mason says "no" constantly. Only, he is not doing it out of defiance. He has developed an unusual side effect from his medication. Saying "no". It is a Tourette's Sydndrome type of tic, although Mason does not have TS.

So he says "no" every few seconds. The trouble is that most of the time I don't know if he is actually saying "no", or if it's the tic! A lot of confusion...

This also happened nearly two years ago when we went up on this medication. Only it was just a grunt. It took a couple of months to go away then. Hopefully this, too, is short term!
