I met with Tylers autism consultant and classroom teacher yesterday. They state that he is doing really well and "keeping it together" at school. They said that home is probably "safe" for him and that I am probably a "safe person" for him so he can just let it all out. That may be true, but there is something wrong and I can't bare to watch it.
Yesterday at speech therapy he threw a chair out of the room and hit the therapist. The therapist states she is NOT afraid of him but if he were older she would be. He is refusing to talk most of the time, and is having physical outbursts anywhere from stomping his feet, or as I said, throwing a chair. Thank goodness he is not hurting himself but SOMETHING is not right.
Today I am meeting with the ABA therapist at the speech center to discuss whats been going on and come up with some strategies to help him. I also called a child psychologist, one who works with the doctor that is prescribing his meds. So hopefully we can get in to see him some time next week. He also has an appointment with his social worker next week.
Please keep Tyler in your thoughts. My Tyler is gone. Something else has taken over him and I am so fearful for his psychiatric health. I want my child to be HAPPY.

That is so sad, I hope you can find the help he needs. Have you seen The Medicated Child? It's a documentary, I watched it on Netflix. I am not against meds, but it was eye opening and might be good for you to watch since you are just now starting him on meds.
