hi there thanx for your reply, i need to find out all i can about these drugs this is honestly the hardest decision ive had to make yet! my son has hemiplegic cerarble palsy plus asd his behaviour is very very challenging, he is aggressive towards me my husband and his young brother n sister, hi not in mainstream school , he can be his normal self one minute then within a split second very abusive and aggressive, and reacts without thinking, of late it is getting worse the aggression towards us , and the bad language ect,we fully understand his age ect but aaron for approx 5yrs now will not sleep alone he has to have his dad with him are near him , dad sleeps in the living room so he is near him as the house is adapted for our son so his bedroom is downstairs, he doesnt like being alone in the day never mind the night as he has great fears, that become overwhelming for him to the point of him feeling sick ect , he thinks someone can get in the house, and hurt us , aaron doesnt sleep a lot it can be early morning before he goes over and he walks around in his sleep, and hits out at us , in the morning he cant remember a thing and gets upsett as he isnt where he was ie his bed when he awakes, he has only just started playing out just on the front garden as he wouldnt go out we have alot of issues, he becomes aggitated and panicky and gets very nasty , dad and i and our other 2 younger siblings feel worn out at times , i have lost count how many times his sister has said now how she loves him but at times hates him!!! it upsetts me a great deal. i have had a lot to cope with over the last few yrs looking after my mother and father who have alzheimers , father just passed last oct, aaron dealt with that ok he doesnt fully understand bless him, and aarons dad has been v poorly so yes we have had a lot on .... now to the point of this i fully understand what you are saying and i fullly understand about the ssri drugs , i wasnt even given a option for these for aaron, dont get me wrong it is our decision at the end of the day and no doc is going to tell me otherwise , the consultant told us it is psychosis , any advice is appreciated, i dont want my child to be a zomby!!
