[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 598737, member: 1550"] I don't blame you for being cautious about medication. We got burned with medications and kids on the spectrum often don't respond to medications in a good way. Now about his being on the spectrum...he is not going to behave in the way a typical kid or person will respond to anything. His mind is wired differently and trying to make him act like or think like a typical kid won't work. Those of us with spectrum kids have found we need to use different, creative parenting methods and to try to understand how our child thinks, the way he/she has to figure out how the world thinks. Is your son getting any autism specific interventions either at school or in the community? If not, I'd start there first. He should have an IEP addressing his Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) even if he is a good student. Also, if your child was affected by drugs or alcohol in his birthmother's utero, that could be a large part of the "Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)." May be more than Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) doing on. Your child is different than biological children who had mother's who took care of themselves during their pregnancy and from those who had a good first two years of life and to those who do not have disorders.
