Hi Janice,

We see both a child psychiatrist and a psychologist. We always went to a psychologist until the behavior strategies didn't help enough. We then started seeing a psychiatrist to find a medication that would help him control his behaviors some so we could work on the behavior strategies. He was just to out of control. He is 8. I guess to answer your question a psychiatrist will probably prescribe meds and a psychologist will work on behavior strategies. If you see a Psychiatrist I would look for a Dr. who has experience with young autistic children and understands that they can react very differently to meds then typical kids. Good luck with this very tough time. Kellie

hey everyone, I have a question. A while ago, there was talk about a certain sedative that works right away like during a really bad time, like emergency when you have to restrain for a long period of time that kids can get perscribed, but I dont remember the name of it. Can anyone help me out? I talked to Dr today and he was not sure of any and asked me to find out the name of it.

Thanks,

With my son, we use Zyprexa (Olanzapine) Orally Disintegrating

Tablets -- 5mg. No water needed. Just place on tongue and it works

within minutes. The psych hospital used this on him whenever he

became combative. The only drawback is that it makes him extremely

hungry afterwards. I can give him up to 10 mg if needed. I carry it

in my purse in case of an emergency.

We have used clonidine and ativan.

Clonidine helps my daughter sleep and ativan calms her down.

Janice I so understand how tired we are as mom's with young kids. I will say a prayer for you as soon as I hit send..........Janice, it's OK to say you are tired, and to have moments when you just curl up in a fetal position and let yourself feel...............after wards you have renewed hope. Take breaks too.......and believe me I know how hard that is. Lily is 5, very high need... is two on spectrum...some-days I feel like my head is numb LOL. I know it's not funny, but I so get it.

HI,

My 3 year old son 's behavior is constantly getting worse. He hits us all day long. Throws objects all the time. I am going to find a child psychiastrist (spelling) for him. Has anyone have experience with this type of doctor?

e, Karac never did the head banging, but he did bite himself and me. It decreased as he got more language. The last time Karac bit me was four weeks ago and I think it is because he has started having minor seizures.

It sounds like you are doing all the right things. I would continue doing what you are doing plus work on language. What are you doing toward developing language? Pat K

He just tonight started banging his head on my lap, as well as his self injury has increased. He is biting his arm with what seems to me added pressure. We have tried the chew sticks, and nothing works...we give him chewy food, and lots of mouth pressure, as far as we hug him and while doing so make sure he gets some extra pressure on his jaw area...

Is this biting getting worse because more is expected from him? Also is he banging his head on me to test limits or because he wants to and or doesn't care. I do try to give him appropriate places to "crash" --- I get his bean bag chair for him when he does want to crash on people...

He used to just bite when he was excited...he bites now for everything.. .attention (which we've never given much for that), as well as excitement, the feeling of love, and anger......makes me sad.

Any support or suggestions (I like the mom ones as much as I do the ABA therapist ones...) Has any ones child tried to bang their head on them, and also has your child's self injury lessened over time, and with therapy.

Thanks, e

Janice I so understand how tired we are as mom's with young kids. I will say a prayer for you as soon as I hit send........ ..Janice, it's OK to say you are tired, and to have moments when you just curl up in a fetal position and let yourself feel........ .......after wards you have renewed hope. Take breaks too.......and believe me I know how hard that is. Lily is 5, very high need... is two on spectrum...some- days I feel like my head is numb LOL. I know it's not funny, but I so get it.

Blessings to you sweet mommy.
