[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 119707, member: 1550"] Spectrum kids vary. I know Aspie kids on stims, but Spectrum kids tend to be VERY sensitive to medications. Stims made my Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified son mean and aggressive (and not able to sleep) and he isn't like that normally. If it makes your son worse, in my opinion don't medicate him with stimulants. About 50% of all kids on the spectrum take medications and the rest don't. (Or so I was told in my Autism Spectrum Parent Group). I'm not a fan of medication unless it is absolutely necessary (and sometimes it is). As far as I know, the medication of choice for Aspies and other spectrum kids tends to be Risperdal rather than a stimulant, but that's just from talking to other parents in the group. My own son does better medication free. [/QUOTE]
