[QUOTE="lovemy3boys, post: 598165, member: 16454"] Thank you both for your responses. I'll try to be more specific. He was diagnosed at 2 1/2 by neuropsychologist. He has received services since-Occupational Therapist (OT), PT, Speech, educational aide in classroom, play therapies, a BA consult once a month to help with at-home behaviors, social skills grp this yr in 3rd gr. He is in 1/2 day self-contained but goes out for cycles and Math. Has a wonderful IEP and supportive teachers. At 5 during K, he was increasingly aggressive, attacking schoolmates, us and Twin A. He was rocking, flapping, repeating and tantruming up to 15 times a day with- all behavioral supports and therapy. It was a tough decision but we started 1/2of .25 risperdal once a day and saw immediate positive results. Bloodwork has always been good, no other side effects only positives or so I thought, so we hv kept it. We are at 1mg, 1x a day. Intuniv was added in 2nd grade for focus and attention to task bc he couldn't do those things long enough to learn ( wasn't reading yet). It has only been this year beginning in about March when we began to see depressive signs. Yes, he has always had the blank stare (mouth open, excessive salivating). But, this is more...repeating phrases...I don't want to live in this family anymore. No one loves me. I have nobody. Crying real sadness tears up to five times a day. My baby is SAD. He says these things when the slightest thing happens out of routine or upsets him (usually something Twin A does). That's why the neurologist addeded the lamictal and the plan is to decrease the risperidone, I think to discontinue. [/QUOTE]
