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

    Has he tried an in-ear design of noise cancelling earphone? e.g.

    www.amazon.co.uk/.../ref=sr_1_2

    These are much less weight/pressure on the head/ears than the over-ear types. I find them very comfortable to use.

    I have a pair of these to use at work and they reduce noise and nearby conversation to the point where I am less distracted. I use them with music from my phone and it really makes a difference to my concentration and distraction.

    There is also a version with a mic for using to take calls.
