Autism and other Disabilities

Tweet

I have a 8yr old that has an Autism spectrum disorder as well as ADHD,ODD, Anxiety, Gross and Fine Motor Developement Delay, and a Mood Disorder. We are having trouble finding the right balance for him between medication and well life. The is of course a very bright little boy but the fact that he can not handle very much stimuli brings out the behavior problems of these disorders. In school they are testing him to see where he can be fit in to help and he sees numerous doctors to try and help also. So our problem has been since he was diagnosed and had second and third opinions done we can not find a medication that works for him. Here is all we have done to help him- Medication ( Geodon, Concerta, Rispirdone, Adderall, Vyvance, Foclin, Methlin, STrattera, Seroquil, Lamactil, Depakote, Intuniv, Clonodine, Klonopin) not all at once but seperate and in some case paired with each other. We have changed his diet (gluten and casin free), have him on a schedule and have him in therapy. We are hitting brick walls at every turn so I figured I would post this on here to see if there is anyone who has been or is in the same situation that has found something to help their child. I need new ideas as I am all out. I look forward to reading your response. Thanks
