[QUOTE="karmadestiny, post: 418822, member: 11499"] Medications can either help or hinder...everyone has a different view...some children respond well, while others it makes no difference and are constantley being prescribed one set of medications after the other...or a cocktail...is your son under a specialist? even if his not placed on medications he will be able to access help through the Autism communication team...they can help him to understand why it is not acceptable to behave in a way he feels is appropriate by not realising his actually causing distress to others...Autistic children are either overly sensitive or under sensitive in their sensory needs...they may also be both overly sensitive and under sensitive at the same time too...These children don't mean to be overly aggressive but just need more of stronger touch or feel to be stimulated...therefore their hug becomes a big bear hug for another or a noose if hugged from the back...these children need a one to one with specialists who can understand them and use different methods to make these children see in action what is appropriate and what becomes dangerous...I get so upset sometimes that the docs seem to think putting children on these drugs is the only way to get to them...I tried to get practical help for my son for 3 years but none was available...I would try the medications to calm his system down for a while but be sure you follow and have a say in the strength of medications given and get the autism team involved for support...as an 18 year old your son has a say in his treatment or if his willing to try it out for a while, also try to get him involved in some sort of sport where he can get his aggression out on the pitch safely but with disapline...and teach him to hug softly showing him how much strength he needs to use...if you can try to work on his diet, cut down on his sugar intake, especially soft drinks, each can of soft drink contains 12 tsps of sugar, increase fruit, veg and add flax seeds to his diet and walnuts are suppose to be fantastic for the brain, as long as his not allergic to them...and most of all create a layer of thick skin for yourself;)P Good luck!
