I have a 10 yo daughter with PDA autism (and ADHD) who decided to refuse her medication in early January. We have noticed a big difference from when she took them so we really want her to get back on them, but nothing we have tried works. Anyone with some experience they want to share? We are grasping for straws at this point. Help

    While i think i knew that, its so hard to not lean towards something that (from my perspective) seems to work. But you are not the only one here with this idea, I cannot overlook that and might just have to accept that meds are not for her. Thanks

      I could be totally off base. I only know my own experience. It’s possible that hers is similar, it’s equally possible that it isn’t. I’m sorry that is not more helpful but I wanted to put it out as another viewpoint.

        I am very grateful for all insight given here. While its not a silver bullet, its another perspective we can take into consideration when trying to help her
