[QUOTE="buddy, post: 579120, member: 12886"] My son takes ritalin/Concerta and it does control his impulses which are severe and persistent, making him unable to even sit and eat when younger. But, I always felt it made him crabby and the docs felt it probably did trigger seizures or lower his threshold. This year with zyprexa working, we lowered his dose (still higher than most) and he is generally happier. Gets too silly and impulsively touches, says things more, but that is more tolerable to everyone than anger and rages. medications may or may not change with an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) or NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) diagnosis. But treatment and services generally changes dramatically. The proper therapy and use of supports known to work for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) can later reduce the need for medications. I have seen rages increase and become more dangerous in clients with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) especially during hormonal changes, if they have poor expressive communication skills (esp low verbal kids). When identified early it's well known to work on expression and identification of different feelings as well as learning very concrete coping skills. It really is helpful to have the correct diagnosis in my humble opinion. [/QUOTE]
