[QUOTE="Drained Mama, post: 390692"] Hi, my name is Mallory. I am the mother of 2 wonderful boys. My 5 yr old has ADHD combined type with traits of Asperger's Disorder and my 2 yr old follows everything his big brother does. My husband and I have decided we don't want to try medication; although, we do use Melatonin to help him go to sleep at night (that is all we are willing to do right now as far as that goes). We are working on behavior modification and trying to get the everyone on a set schedule and maybe even some food/nutrition changes. At the moment, I am wanting some ideas on what kinds of foods may be better for him than others. We deal a lot with sudden anger/frustration and aggression. Also, any ideas of what we can do to keep him busy with very little down time, if any. We have noticed during down time is usually when he has a harder time of controlling himself. If he is busy, it is easy to keep him calm. Any advice, ideas or anything is welcome.:happy: [/QUOTE]
