[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 704559, member: 1550"] There is no one medication for autism. Many autistic people are sensitive to and do poorly on medication. My son had interventions only..medications made him act out and he is normally a gentle soul. Stims made him aggressive and he isn't. Anti depressants made him psychotic and he is not mentally ill. in my opinion that teenager needs to learn coping skills. And not live at home. He needs a group home that will work to help him learn to control his anger. medications, of which I have been on since 23, can help certain problems, but not just by themselves. AND it took me a decade to find the right medication combo. Often it is trial and error for years. It is no quick solution not does it work without other help. Meanwhile he should live elsewhere in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
