It's so much easier for him to make friends in a small group of 4 or 5 kids and learn to work and learn through fun activities. It makes him feel special. That is his special weekly activity.

Anxiety is such a huge deal for our kiddos. Lately I have seen some improvement after my son started going to a group therapy session with several other boys on the spectrum - he has been so happy to meet other kids who think like him and be able to talk about some of the stuff they struggle with.

There is little research done on the long term effects of these type of meds on children. While it may be harder in the short term to help your child deal with stress, the long term benefits of working with your child are unmeasurable. Best wishes to you and your family!
