Hello all,

I haven't been here for a while. I have an adult daughter with autism in her late 30's. Through the years I have managed to keep her off of the Anti Psychotic Medication as she is Autistic not Psychotic.

After getting her out of a care center several years ago I find that her good group home is starting to lower the bar as far as treating Autism. They used to use a strictly behavioral approach.....and some SSRI's for OCD. She came home with Serocuel to replace the Clozapine which they had prescribed recently. The reason is that she seems to rush through her day. I HATE THIS. After her home visit is over (she comes home every other weekend) I am going to talk to someone about this. I just don't like the idea of this medication. Am I wrong? I know I am getting older and there is a new generation of autistic children now, but does this stuff work? Is it like killing a mosquito with an elephant gun?

Just not happy. Tell me what you think.
