What Do I Do?? Help Please
My son is the youngest of 4 boys. He is 9 years old and was clinically diagnosed as having Level 1 ASD. He was diagnosed earlier having severe anxiety, ADHD and sensory issues.

I appreciate the info regarding his medication and for the encouragement!
I can relate to feeling like nothing will work & totally overwhelmed. Of the medications you mentioned, we’ve tried Focalin & Prozac. It’s trial & error with the medication. Initially my daughter’s adhd was being addressed but none of the medications worked. She was so incredibly irritable, angry, screaming etc., all the time. I felt like her mood was the biggest issue we had, not the adhd. Although anger etc. can be a symptom of any of the diagnosis, you don’t know what’s coming from where. That’s why it’s trial & error.
