I apologize for not posting anything recently. Google recently made it difficult to have multiple accounts. Out of respect for my son's privacy, I was maintaining this blog with an account that had LESS personal info about me and my family, other than the medication issue.
JT's current diagnosis is in the Aspbergers / autism spectrum with some ADD and of course 'a mixed diagnosis that includes issues in the affective spectrum too'. He takes Clozaril now, and I am really troubled by that. He also takes a small amt of stimulant in the AM. Probably another 'bipolar' med too.
But there is good news . Ok.. I'm a parent.. I'll take good news ! He is 21. He graduated from high school. He is taking a scaled back community college program which should lead to a certificate and then possibly an AA in computer technology. JT loves computers ! He loves to fish too. No regular job yet.
Thanks for your comments and for reading this blog. And Stephanie, thanks for all the good info over the years.. you are like the rock of Gibraltar ! I guess Phil Dawdy has stopped 'furious seasons' and needs to come off the blog roll. Some other blogs that have popped up in the last year or two need to go on the blogroll.
Congress and a democratic president didn't make any significant dents in Pharma lobbying and NIH/ academia conflicts of interest in the last 4 years. I am not too surprised. Senators and congresspeople have unlimited terms.. maybe this has something to do with the current stagnation. At least there is that one Republican senator who keeps asking for academic honesty in pharma research. One light in the storm.. oh well
"So it goes" ( I think that's from Kurt Vonnegut.. but I forget which book)
If I move to another blog host-er I will definitely leave a fwd'ing link.
