<< I dont know what to do. He gets so violent, i worry so much about what

will happen to him

when i am no longer around, and my fear is that nobody will want to help me

if

he behaves this way. I dont know what to do. I feel alone. Thanks for

letting

me vent. Leilani >>

Hi, Everyone...Leilani....I could just feel the pain and heartache in your

letter. That is why we are all here. I have walked in those shoes and also

had a violent kid. I remember telling a child psych when Gareth was 6 y/o

that I wouldn't want to be the one he was pissed off at an older age because I

was afraid of my own kid. First....was he this violent before the IV? If

not, I would say it the IVs have upset his intestinal track and push the

probiotics. Antibiotics do a number on me and I get horrible cramps. If he

was

nasty, belligerent, violent , non-compliant before the IV, then talk to a

doctor

about Risperdal. Believe me, your kid doesn't like his behavior any more

than you do.....he just has no control over the autism.

Joni....welcome to the group. My son, Gareth, is 20 y/o with the

DS/Autism?OCD dx. He was first dx'd at age 5-6 ish. He use to be a horrible

head

banger, very angry, belligerent, non-compliant brat (hey, that's the truth!!!).

He's turned into a good kid.....very mature and easy going. He's got lots of

medical issues to put the icing on the cake, too.
