I had a thought/suggestion on a slightly different thing - the old menu you described had what sounded like a fair few yellow foods. Did you know that yellow dyes can cause significant behavioural difficulties and aggression in some children? This could be worth looking into as well. Good luck! :) Canberra Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17434228013565787424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083996958239255166.post-46371007088645616602013-07-26T18:40:10.079-07:002013-07-26T18:40:10.079-07:00Here here.....my son is also on resperidone and an...Here here.....my son is also on resperidone and an anti-depressant. In the appropriate doses they can make such a difference to life, make it almost bearable!!<br />I openly tell people if they ask because it is exactly as deborah has pointed out, if your child had diabetes you wouldn't NOT medicate them just because of what others think!!!<br />My son's dose is just perfect at the moment, until another growth spurt, and wow what a difference it makes. <br />Good on you :)<br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11418239769293115688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083996958239255166.post-58470443586570694362013-07-26T10:23:47.460-07:002013-07-26T10:23:47.460-07:00Amen. Well said, and I agree with you. When this...Amen. Well said, and I agree with you. When this question comes up, I always think of people who have to take blood pressure or cholesterol medication every day of their life, or singulair for their asthma (like me) or acid reducers - to make life more bearable, or even *possible.* You're doing what needs to be done for Ethan and for your family.
