[QUOTE="Fran, post: 718540, member: 3"] It's hard to imagine that he was not diagnosed until 18. How well did he function in grade school and high school? Did anyone dealing with your son give you any input? Medications of different sorts work differently on each person. My son is completely different than either of the mother's above have described. I'm pretty sure the military would run screaming if they interviewed my son(I'm joking). Some medications worked on anxiety which is common with folks on the autistic spectrum. It helped my son. Mood stabilizers helped with the highs and lows of his emotional responses. He is not bipolar but all things are a spectrum. Some on the spectrum get antipsychotics even though they are not psychotic. If a medication works to help my son I don't care what the classification is. I hope you can get some services to help your son to learn independent living skills. [/QUOTE]
