[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 100861, member: 1991"] While medications worked for my kids, we were lucky. Sometimes medications don't work for autistic kids. And even with our kids - it's not a cure, nor does it completely make them 'normal'. It just makes it easier for them to cope and to adapt. I think it helped us because they also have ADHD. Getting that under control made it easier for them to deal with what was left. Sometimes diet can help. Sometimes other therapies can help. Often they don't. You don't know until you try. I do know that stimulants were magic for difficult child 3, he went from single words to whole sentences in under a week. His big sister was away at camp for the week he began medications, and she commented on the amazing change when she returned. It's just the way it is sometimes. If you try it and there is no dramatic change, then give it up. But if it DOES work like magic, then you have made a quantum leap forward for him. And EVERY improvement is a bonus and an advantage for him. Marg [/QUOTE]
