Risperdal has really made a huge difference in Alexander's quality of life. He has friends...he plays with kids at recess...his anxiety has reduced a bit...and he's able to focus better. As nervous as I was to start it, I'm happy that we did. Feebee – I’ve started blogging again, yay! hehe

He was on Risperdal but then he gained a ton of weight and started getting muscle ticks and drooling. Now he is on Abilify, and I have not noticed side effects. My son was diagnosed with sensory processing problems. He is in sensory integration therapy, which helps. He also is in weekly counseling. I took some parenting classes too. I learned that my son does better with structure and routine, so I had to really adapt what I did at home. Another big thing is consistency, especially with discipline. My son does best when he gets choices, so that also helps avoid some of the meltdowns. Plus i made him an incentive chart, and we work on that every day. So there is hope! You are doing a great job as a mom, and I support you 100%. My son also has meltdowns and is very aggressive.
