[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 395556, member: 2423"] My son has mild Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), and we just interviewed a new psychiatrist for when he comes home from his Residential Treatment Center (RTC) at the end of this month. The psychiatrist told us that kids on the spectrum typically respond well to stimulants for inattention and atypical antipsychotics for anger and aggression. They generally either do not respond well or have no response to SSRI antidepressants or mood stabilizers. Of course, these are generalizations, not hard-and-fast rules. But ironically, after something like 35 medication trials, this has proven true in my son's case. I wish I had more advice for you. Hang in there, and good luck. [/QUOTE]
