[quote=Anonymous]Slightly off topic - how is Intuniv for ASD kids who are extremely hyperactive? DS is ASD, verbal but exhibits extreme hyperactivity and lack of focus. He is constantly stimming verbally and physically. He continually tosses items up and down in front of his eyes. He's on 2 mg. of clonidine at bedtime, which has helped with aggression and overall hyperactivity, but not with the repetitive behaviors and lack of focus. Methylphenidate was a disaster for him - it made him twitchy and irritable, aggravating his aggression. He was also weepy. We also tried Quillavant (sp?), the extended form of methylphenidate. I'm not surprised by this reaction because DH has always reacted adversely to Sudafed in a similar way, and I think the underlying stimulant is the same. We tried Vyvance once for 3 days and he began to have hallucinations. DS is 9, and the loss of focus and attention is worsening. Any ideas?[/quote]
