[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 586165, member: 1550"] Does he get any interventions for his Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)? Those are really important and I don't mean medication. Does he have an IEP in school for his Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)? Do you think maybe he has a co-morbid mood disorder too? He seems sad and angry. It is a common combination...Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)/mood disorder. Both are treatable. He is probably overstimulated when he melts down. He needs Occupational Therapist (OT) and PT and probably for social skills and once he learns how to interact appropriately with others and is taught how to control himself he should do much better. But he needs these interventions. My son got them through school and they didn't cost us anything, but they helped TONS. My son is now an adult and you would barely know he has Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) if you didn't KNOW, if you get what I mean. And he used to have frequent anger meltdowns too. Hyperactivity and anxiety are just two symptoms of the bigger diagnosis Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Some Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids are overly sensitive to medication. 50% of all kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) take medications. For my son, he does better medication free, but again he is now a young adult. Takes time. My son has also made friends. If you have him assessed again, I'd take him to a neuropsychologist. I would never ever trust school testing. [/QUOTE]
