My son has been diagnosed with autism and adhd. The older he gets, the more impulsive and hyperactive he becomes. It is often hard to deal with him, especially in public, because of his behavior. He is receiving Occupational Therapy once a week in school, and will also be receiving an additional hour of outside OT soon. He is not currently on medication, as the neurologists have told me that a lot of meds that work for ADHD have adverse effects in kids with autism. Plus I am nervous about the effects they may have on him. We tried Focalin for a while, which had no benefit and even seemed to make him more aggressive. He is also on a gluten free-casein free diet. Any informative suggestions would be appreciated.

What Is It Like To Have Autism And Can You Share Your Experiences?
Hi, I’m doing a research paper and presentation on autism. I would seriously like to put a 110% on this, so I had an idea to interview someone. Since I don’t know anyone personally who’s autistic, I would like to ask some questions to someone who’s autistic or a parent who have an autistic child.To answer my questions more privately, my email address is nessa048@hotmail.com
For the person who have autism:
*How old are you?
*When did you get diagnosed with autism?
*How severe is your autism?
*Was it hard at school and was you comfortable at the school you went to?
*What have your family did to help you through the yrs?
*Is it difficult to do daily activities?
Any stories or comments you would like to share?
For the parents:
*How did knowing that your child have autism affected your life?
*Did you look at your child a different way or thought he/she need special needs?
*How old is you autistic child?
*When did your child get diagnosed with autism?

Can Having A Bump On You Nipple Mean You Have Breast Cancer?
My best friend, she’s 13, she’s told me she’s afraid of having breast cancer because she has a little by her nipple. She’s freaking out and she doesn’t want to tell her mom, but i keep telling her to tell her mom. She doesn’t know if its breast cancer or at least a symptom of breast cancer. Can someone help me explain to her? I have no idea if it is or not. Please & Thank you so much!
