[QUOTE="BeachPeace, post: 433894"] I do not have any input on the diagnosis - that will have to be something teased out by his doctors. But...you did ask if there were any medications that could help him - my answer is a big YES. My son Blue with the right combo of medication is a happy, functional child that can sit through church and go to a restaurant. Oh do we have our days still....but it is 90% better with the correct medication. He has a seizure disorder - but takes 2 medications for aggression/meltdown behavior (abilify and risperdal) - the medications did not change him or his personality - they just seem to keep him from crossing the line of anger/tired/irrritable - to banging his head on the floor violent meltdown most of the time. This week with the added stress of transitioning out of school - he has had a few good tantrums so medications are not 100% perfect. Also - the other posters are correct .... as my son has progressed to 85 pounds it just gets harder to manage the anger - the bigger and older they get. We have a good neurologist that manages his medications since my sons problems are mostly due to brain damage than a psychiatric diagnosis. Hope things get better {{hugs}} [/QUOTE]
