I don't really want to give anything else, after all, she's on a daily med. for her Grave's Disease. But, she will do so much better if she can have a little more self control with the stimming. >> Hi, Everyone........Gareth doesn't shake/flap his arms or hands. He does rock and bang his toys together, though. He is on meds for OCD (Obsessive compulsive dis.) something lots of autistic kids have. He takes Prozac or Luvox for it. Yes, his stimming is greatly decreased on meds....it's not completely gone, though. He does have more control over it. As for meds, Gareth also has GERD, which requires medication. He also takes Risperdal for extreme behaviors/self injurious, etc. If you do want to try it, start on a very low dosage. Isn't Graves disease thyroid problems? I know there are other kids taking thyroid meds and psycho. meds together. Ask your Dr. or psychiatrist. leah.....glad your back. Sounds like Cameron and Ashton are doing great. As for wanting more kids, I'd be glad to give you my two for a week at a time!!! Take care, Everyone. Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
