[QUOTE="Autismkids, post: 336845, member: 8756"] My son has been medicated in the past, but he reacted to it. At the time he had a life threatening allergy to dairy products. A very high percentage of dairy allergics can tolerate medical grade lactose (it isn't possible to separate the lactose from the proteins 100%), but my son had a reaction. That turned me off of medications for a few years. After I found out that the medication in liquid form was safe, we tried it again. He had an increase in his aggressive behaviors. So again, I gave up! He's medicated for his asthma, but that's it. I know there are no medications for his autism, but his aggression can be a bit insane at times, and that's what the medication aim was. After a brief phone call with an advocate this afternoon, I was informed DS's classification is way off. During tomorrow's meeting I have to have his classification changed to other health impaired. I'm also going to get more resources from the social worker about programs around here, and I'm calling the psychiatric hospital to see what they have. Hopefully tomorrow's meeting will move us forward. It's so hard to spend all afternoon fighting with him, but then give him a bath, (asthma) medications, and have my little boy in a diaper sitting with me for a story before bed. Beneath all the behavior, he's still my baby. [/QUOTE]
