How many of you have children on meds?

One yes (16 year old who is aggressive and sleep problems). One no (11 year old who is mainstreamed).

I can't recall all the natural suggestions but one was high levels of B vitamins, there is a particular mix that Bernard Rimland's site had for sale. Is either www.autism.org of similiar website url. Never tried it so no personal experience on that.

Someone above mentioned a bad reaction to ritalin and we had that experience as well.

We tried Quinlan on Ritalin and she became very moody. She would cry at the drop of a hat, fly off the handle at the littlest thing, tantrum, she was totally indecisive. So we took her off and tried Risperidal. It has helped so much. Her attending is better, she is able to focus, and able to control herself a lot more. It seems to give her an extra few seconds to think things through before she does things. It really helps her and it is only a very small dose (.5 mg).
