Q: My son is adhd and mild autism he is on meds nut it makes him so spaced out won't eat it makes him more angry what should I do
Hi there
I am sorry this is happening. Can you tell us which medications he is taking?
The very best thing you can do right now is to write down the behaviors you are seeing and take this list in to your child's doctor. Some things might be a side effect to the particular medication and other behaviors just may be symptoms of his ADHD or autism. It could be a situation where the dosage needs to be adjusted or even a switch to a new medication. Are these behaviors consistent in all environments? Is he doing similar things in school for example?
Let us know more and we can try to provide more detailed suggestions.
