[QUOTE="my son's mom, post: 697055, member: 20636"] You note that your son has mental retardation Do you mean that he is on the autistic spectrum? If so, I can tell you that the medications used to treat ADHD or ADD (which are usually stimulants) are not absorbed by those on the spectrum in the same way as other patients, and so they are ineffective. Perhaps your son needs one of the atypical mood stabilizers like Risperdal or Abilify. They have side effects but not as many a some other classifications of drugs. And they can cut down the aggressiveness (not stop it). Also, i would ask, is your son depressed? Males tend to express depression through aggression. If so, then anti depressant medications might be a consideration. Additionally the more exercise he can get, the better for mood stabilization. Hope thi help a bit. [/QUOTE]
