[QUOTE="shelleyils, post: 607101, member: 16186"] He takes the adhd medication due to him having a terrible time focusing. I too have heard that these medications can make autistic kids a lot worse. He did take a medication called respidill and serequel and those were just god awful for him. The abilify does help with his horrible fits of rage. When I called the psychiatric dr. to express my concerns, she told us to give him 3ml in the am and 3ml in the afternoon. I did not give it to him this am and the teacher said the medication did help a lot. But, he's been having so much trouble with his ears. He is on an antibiotic for an ear infection. He's had 2 back to back ones, so I don't know if it was his ear that was making him angry or the medications? Next week he has to see a new ent dr. Last year he got over 8 ear infections and the dr. said he didn't need tubes and for us to keep giving him allergy medications. Anyhow, we will see what this new ent say. If by chance they want to put tubes in (he's already had 4 sets), how would these medications effect them putting him to sleep? They don't use a breathing tube or iv, it's just the mask anethesia.
