Guest guest Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Does anyone have experience treating agressive behaviors,anger tantrums with SSRI's for children with autism/asberger types? My son is 10 I have been struggling for years with the idea of meds, I am trying to have the courage to try this ofr my son. The aggressive episodes are only occasional, but they are seriously scary.ie. stabbed my palm with a pencil while I was driving. I am tired of hearing what people with " normal " kids tell me. It actually makes me angry, they do not really get it because they do not live with this type of child. I had a close friend tell me I should have higher expectations for my son, that he could do much better in school. I was silenced by this one, my child is riddled w/ learning disabilities, he is improving at his pace- which is slow. This is fine with me . If I could not be proud of his accomplishments and didnt accept where he is I think I would be making things a lot more difficult. Does anybody experience this type of thing with well meaning friends? Sometimes I wanna choke people!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
