1. Cheap Train tickets for a specific time

9. Freeze in decision making
10. Work school - we're on, return home - Restraint Collapse

After the break a new adult couple with a child with a young adult diagnosis had questions about medication and how it works.

1. lots of experiences on various medications
2. one size doesn't fit all
3. Should I get titration? the line is so long... (answer, it ain't getting any shorter while you wait to decide. get a place in line. decide later.)
4. Elvanse can cause you to have a shorter fuse
5. ADHD + Steroids? Makes you feel bad? This seemed to be a common reaction to steroids.
6. More Hormone drops as you get older screw with medication and mood balance
7. John Pye site auctions (dangerous for shopping compulsion, don't look)
