nathan takes aricept, he does fine on it, the only side effect we noticed

was it caused insomnia instead of sleepiness, so have to give it in the morning

instead of the noc. If anything everyone has noticed lots more talking from

nathan. I am not sure if it is hleping his memory or not. It is soo hard to

always tell what our kids do know. tominght for example we took the boys out

for pizza, and nathan instead of whiny for the last breadstick automatically

broke it in half and gave half to his brother, and then when we got home he

opened his brother's car door and the child safety lock keeps sticking lately,

and then later on, i was downstairs doing laundry and he was yelling mom, mom,

and and i yelled back what and he said im done, so i run upstairs and he has

bm'ed in the toiled plus got it all over the bathroom and himself and has

used about half a tub of baby wipes trying to clean himself up, lol, and i was

like why didnt you call me sooner, and he is going yep poopoo eeeww gross ,

Its like he is just doing things we usually do all on his own lately, that

could be an age thing or a med thing hard to say, now if i could just get him

to

shave, lol shawna

Tried the aricept and it did nothing for but he isn't as classic autism

as some kids on this list. He has many ADHD, OCD, and anxiety issues.
