What meds are really safe for Aspie kids?

[Guest guest]

Hi! My dd is only 9 and her teacher this past year thought she should go on meds

to help with her anxiety. The side effects listed on all these and other meds

are a mile long! I'm scared to put these chemicals in her young body, especially

if this is something that she's going to have for the rest of her life according

to ASD info. At the same time, I want to help her. She's so stressed out about

being popular, school in general, etc. Does anyone know of something that can

help that won't just be causing another problem due to side effects? Thanks for

any input!
