[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 584509, member: 1550"] Oh, hon, I don't think he shouldn't be medicated. Many Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids are medicated. It's just that many Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids also don't see anybody except psychiatric people...psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, etc. and then they never get the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) addressed because therapy doesn't help that. medications are a sometimes necessary evil, but they don't change the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) mind either. And perhaps your son has more stuff going on than just Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). I have never understood how bipolar can be diagnosed without clear mania and depression...and this question came to me because of ME. I had that bipolar label on and off for years, but I really have a mood disorder and it's different. There is no clear mania and depression with me...I don't need a mood stabliizer...I have mostly depressive moods so I need an antidepressant, which I take and it works. Often medications stop working. I've had that happen with myself. That's why medications alone is never the answer and they keep needing to be re-evaluated. I finally found such a good combo I've been on them for over twenty years. Only took me ten-fifteen years to find them...haha. However, I did not get violent either. Rageful, yes, but not violent.
