[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 479848"] difficult child 1 hallucinates. Most of his are formless visual or murmuring auditory. They started at school at age 5. I think they are anxiety induced. He is just beginning to understand that he sees and hears things others don't. The last one at school though was of him hurting other kids. He still believes that was real. And he did hurt another kid since he thought he was getting away with it already. He learned a difference between hallucinations and real behavior is his aides reaction to it. I keep on the look out for command hallucinations but he hasn't had any yet (that I know of). When he has hallucinations all other expectations get put on hold for awhile to make sure everyone is safe. He is still in school, still has homework and we don't tell him the expectations are lowered. He is watched very closely and if something (like an assembly or certain homework assignment) is just to much for him he doesn't have to do it. There is an assembly on Thursday that difficult child 1 will probably miss because his anxiety is creeping up. I also think you should get another opinion about the medications. Welcome to the board!
