Tuesday 6/22/2021, I gave William the new medicine (Amphetamine) that Ms. Elyse prescribed before going to school. I broke the capsule and pour the medicine on a spoon of Nutella; he took it with no problem because he loves Nutella so much!
Then I drove him to school, I asked him occasionally if he had tummy aches or headaches, he said No. When I handed him to Ms. Vanessa at school, I told him about the medicine and asked her to observe if he’s ok.
Noon time I picked him up. He ran out from the gate, kicked the sign on the way and even used his hands trying to push the sign down. Wow, he was even more aggressive than when he had the other medicine. When we got into the car, he repeatedly push the power button so many times!
When he got home, he seemed to be calmer. I got him pizza and hash brown but he only ate some hash brown. When Thomas (TasKids supervisor) and Marilou (ABA) came, he seemed to be fine. I told Marilou about his temper when I picked him up; Marilou asked William what was wrong, “The teacher asked me to clean up which I did not like!”.
So I’m not sure he was angry because of the chores that the teacher asked him to do or it’s the side effect of the medicine. We’ll have to try at least for a week more to be sure.
