[QUOTE="Josie, post: 281738, member: 1792"] Have you ever tried to modify his diet? Some kids on the autism spectrum do well on the girlfriend/CF diet. My kids are on the girlfriend/CF diet even though they don't have autism, but one of them isn't even a difficult child any more if she stays on it. Her problem used to be uncontrollable anger. She took Lexapro but needed increasing doses for it to work. At the end, we were going to have to add an AP. Instead, we changed her diet and she was able to stop taking any medications. I am convinced that as long as she was eating gluten and milk, no medications would have helped. I have only had to give up gluten, not casein, but I feel much better emotionally on the girlfriend diet. I used to be irritable and anxious, but not to the extent of our difficult child's. I know it sounds both extremely difficult and too good to be true. It has worked for us, though. [/QUOTE]
