Treating the symptons

Evening everyone, hope you are well and surviving these awful summer holidays.  I am so exhausted I could barely get up this morning.Tongue Out

I wanted to ask everyone, I have been reading up on research and ASD and the symptoms that go with it, behvaioural issue, obsessions, aggression, lack of concentration and being on the go from sun up to sun down (this is my son) I wondered if any of you have your children or considered the drug options for the above symptons?

I have read the latest studies on Respiridone, and they are better then retilin (sorry about spelling) Ihave another disabled son with cerebral palsy and I just cna't cope with the symptons that my youngest has with this condition and it is now effecting my eldest son.

Any advise or words of wisdom would be appreciatedSmile

  • Why would you want to drug your son into an effective waking coma because you can't cope with him?

    (and, I can guess how you may take that question, and I'm sorry, but, this is the implication of what you are asking)

    Would you wish to medicate your son out of being happy, or gay, or artistic, or anything else?

    Autism in all it's forms is not a illness, it is a normal, healthy, way of being.

    I sympathise with your situation, and understand it must be very hard on you, but drugging one of your sons, for the benefit of the other, is not the answer to your problems.
