I have seen both sides of it, kids that are doing very well after getting medicated and others that got to heavily medicated that it got the wrong effect. I am currently helping a parent out with getting her son of some meds, so we are doing some research together with a specialist doctor to start all over again, because he is not responding well to the meds at all and he have had them for like 3 years. That is crazy. Good luck with your decision, I am sure it will work out well. //Andreas I have worked wiht autistic children for over 5 years now and what you are talking about is one of the hardest questions we need to address, it is especially hard for the parents of course.
