I too thought she looked as though she was suffering from drug damage, yes, I thought of tardive dyskinesia caused by major tranquilisers. She was obviously on something pretty dangerous as they were having to do monthly blood tests to check on what it was the drugs were doing to her system.

>>They do that with theraputic doses of Lithium.............

Yes, this is what I thought as well, definitely looks like tardive dyskenesia from anti-psychotics.

A couple of 's tutors used to work for a residential home for young adults with ASD. They observed several cases of the life being sucked out of bright young men because they were thought to be a "safety risk" therefore put on anti-psychs and left virtually catatonic. In one case a young man had made ONE relatively minor physical assault on a staff member and then was dosed to being non-verbal. Previously he was an entertaining and funny young man, able to do impersonations and sing any song they would ask him to.

I agree with Mandi - donate to the Autism Trust. It looks like the only hope for a safe future for many of our children.

I didn't make notes and only saw a little bit of her now. But her general state shows long use ?? of antipsychotic medication resulting in facial changes and in need of some procylidine to help with her side effects, gate, dribbling etc. Boardering on tardive dyskinesia and needing a reduction and change to a newer antipsychotic...if this is the case of course.

I'll bet she'd test high on a co-porphyrin test.
