Risperidone.

Curly_chris

Hi, My son is 9 years old, he has been given a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum disorder, sensory processing disorder and is currently being assessed for ADHD (from what i have been told he is highly likely to get a diagnosis).

After speaking to his physciatrist today she has suggested putting him on Risperidone as this will help keep him a little calmer and slow his thoughts down so he can manage with things easier.

Has anyone ever had any experience with this medication? if so what are your thoughts.

Thanks

Chris

  • Hi, Thank you all so much for your replies.

    I hate the thought of medicating my son but he gets so stressed with all the noises the world makes,  - he wont wear headphones as the feel of them on him is just as bad. we have tried different diets with no improvement he is getting more "Hulk SMash" as he gets older.

    We are looking into the possibility of IRLENS as another resort, i just wanted to get all the information i can on everything before we decide what is the best course of action next.
