[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 35356, member: 1550"] I'm going to third that my son's high functioning autism was hard to diagnose, but that he didn't really respond the way he was supposed to on medications. In his case, however, he had tons of testing before getting his Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified diagnosis (the reason it wasn't Aspergers is that he did have a speech delay, however, he is very bright and really has a nice temperament now that he's in the correct interventions and now that everyone understands him). In his long list of medications that he took (that he didn't need), he took Seroquel almost longer than any of them. In Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), some kids rage when frustrated and it is common for them to be given antipsycotics for anger issues. Risperdal is the one that I've heard of the most, but Seroquel is actually easier to tolerate for some kids. My son got very sleepy on it, so you may want to give it to him at night. Be sure your son has his IEP adjusted to fit the diagnosis, and have supports in place. Social skills help is a big deal for kids with Aspergers. They are so naive and so socially clueless. My son trusts people way too much and I don't know how to teach him to be wary. Experience or getting burned by people doesn't work for him. He still thinks they're "my friends." (Yeah, when kids coerced you into giving them your stuff and money, they're your friends). I think my son's outward social skills have improved 90%, even if he still has challenges figuring out other people. Hugs :)Aspies are actuall the NEATEST kids I've ever met. I love them. [/QUOTE]
