Antipsychotics are commonly used in autism but arenโt licensed and have side effects like weight gain and potentially restlessness.
Yessss! I still think about bullying that happened 20 years ago! im a teacher now and my spectrum students are now getting bullied.
Great Podcast. Constance Graham is very insightful and an inspiration to other autism moms
I waited until my son was 18 before we tried meds for my son's anxiety and depression. He's verbal but struggles to communicate how he's feeling. The Lexapro & Prozac helped but he put on too much weight to be safe and they made him so sleepy he couldn't stay awake during the day. We took him off both of those. He is now on Lamictal for mood stabilizers and melatonin at night, so far seems to be working better.
My heart still hurts at the loss of my childhood friend Lorena. One of the kindest souls on earth. Love to Kirk and the children.
We have three adoptive sons with autism. Glad I found your pod cast. Thank you for giving me the okay to laugh when at times I just want to cry.
My son was just diagnosed with autism today, it's a whole new world to me but I am embracing it whole heartedly. Thank you guys for all you do, this podcast is amazing and I appreciate it! :)
Great job guys, I work in the field and it's great to have your perspective up here in Canada!
An enjoyable podcast.
