[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 62740, member: 1550"] Janna, as a parent whose kids was thrown medications and didn't even need them, articles like this scare me. I am also shocked at how many very young kids are thrown stims and anti-psychotics when, at such young ages, it's impossible to know for sure if the child has ADHD/bipolar/even autism. Lucas should never have been on medications at all. Now LATELY (ahem) now that he is fourteen, he is saying stuff like, "Why do I get so angry?" Janna, sometimes if he is told he can't do something, he slams a door or overturns a chair, but that's about it. He's Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). He's easy to calm down. I don't want him on medications for that. But I'll bet some doctor would throw an antipsychotic at him (sigh). [/QUOTE]
