if you have as you should be taking risperdal along with adderall it might be why its not working for some people because the adderall helps with the focusing and the risperdal helps with the autistic stuff

Risperdal is meant for schizophrenia.

Anyone who prescribes it for autism or AS is a pill pusher.

I nasceu em um farol; minha mãe era o mar. I rastreados até à escola todas as manhãs até que ele ocorreu-me que a vida é apenas humor anel não estamos autorizados a ver, e é isso o que ele disse-me:

O meu quarto está confortavelmente pequenas
E há borracha que reveste as paredes
E há sempre alguém chamando o meu nome.
Ele chama quando estou sozinha
E ele chama quando eu não estiver home
E ele chama quando estou preso no chuva.
Estou demente.

My son took Adderall for 3 years and complained that it made his head feel funny. (Not to mention made him aggressive) but different stimulants work differently on different people.

It's trial and error on which one's work for which person. Right now Focalin is the new drug of choice......

Which leads to the ADD dx.....

either you take the med to focus and deal with the Aspie traits being more noticable OR you don't take it and deal with the inattention more....

it's almost a lose/lose situation.
