[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 309188, member: 1550"] Spectrum kids often get a diagnosis of mood disorder too and often it's not the case since Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) itself causes moodswings and lack of focus. Is he getting special help in school? Interventions? Small classes? An aide to help him focus? This REALLY helped my son more than any medication. He's been off medications for seven years now and doing better without the medications. He needs less intervention too now. All Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids have short fuses and get frustrated easily, which doesn't make them have mood disorders. Interventions for them help that as well. Many spectrum kids are often highly sensitive to the side effects of medication. in my opinion you can't medicate away every symptom in ANY disorder. Good luck, whatever you decide to do. [/QUOTE]
