Is There a Medication for Autism? Q&A on Medication for Autism

[@dustinmichel7608]

My sons behaviors were almost eliminated. He transitioned to jr high and the school stopped doing behavioral therapy with him for over a year. Then a new staff mid way through took over the class and he regressed badly. Now the school is asking me to go to a pediatrician so he can be put on medication or he might have to seek alternative schooling. Im so heart broken

We switched to A2 milk last week. Suddenly miss 8 is planning ahead, proactive, suddenly mastered her math level then happily tackled the highest level in her program, suddenly tolerant of fast paced learning games, suddenly happily reading several sentences where reading one word used to be challenging. So excited!

My son was put on ripserdal and after 2 weeks he lost his mind and seemed to be having a weird psychosis. Worst mistake of my life.. he’s slowly coming back to what he was on clonidine but has extreme hyperactive moments between doses or just falls asleep. His natropath thinks he has PANS.

[@marybarbera]

That sounds like such a difficult situation...I'm sorry you and your son went through that. I hope things get better soon.

@Hunter Brown he’d wake up at 3am and sometimes climb his brothers bunk and attack him go outside on the swing and have to push him for hours, we had to occupy him 24/7 it was exhausting. He would just start screaming on and off for long periods, attack us while we were driving. Punch kids at kinder for no reason, destroy everything that they’d have to clear the kinder room. He liked ppls reactions so he’d get real close and stair at them and take there stuff or hit them. There’s so much more but it’s traumatic thinking what he went through and everyone around him. Now he’s on zero medications amd is thriving, a naturopath helped so much. He no longer hits and has made good friends at his autistic school.

It is best to discuss side effects with your doctor but you could take some data to see if that is happening.

[@TheRdfrota]

Mary. Do you have a forum for parents to discuss? If not do you know of a good support group you can recommend. This is all so overwhelming. Sorry this is a bit of topic
