[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 27503, member: 2423"] KMC, Pepperidge has given you some good advice. My son was on Clonidine (Tenex's cousin) for a while to help with sleep. It definitely caused drowsiness in the evening, but it also caused irritability in the morning. Our psychiatrist said this is quite common. We saw no improvement in anger and aggression, but my son has a bipolar-like mood disorder, not high-functioning autism. Take this advice for what it's worth (free!), but I attended a lecture last year on managing childhood disorders. One of the speakers was an autism specialist (can't remember his name, but he was nationally known and doing research into medication options for autistic kids). He said he frequently uses a medication combo of Risperdal for anger and agression and Ritalin for inattention (probably once the child is in school). So you may very well be on the right track. Hope you get some answers soon. And keep dreaming! [/QUOTE]
