My son is on a pretty strong med regime and I believe he has more than autism.
He seems to have very little ability to retain anything.
Very frustrating and I need help with dealing with this. :(

The first step in this sort of situation is to find out what the meds are for and how was he before medication. This would help to identify if the meds are actually contributing to the problem.

He has been on these meds for awhile and it took awhile to get him stable. He has a lot of temper tantrum’s and all around violent if and when he isn’t on these doses, experience has taught me this so any changes would have to be made at an inpatient facility.
