One Month Today

Today it has been exactly 4 weeks since we started Bradley on a medication called "Risperidone". Jason and I have seen such a huge difference in our son. This drug is not a "Cure" for Autism but it has deffinately helped Bradley to think much more clearly and to function in daily life. Bradley use to hardley sleep at night and now he is sleeping anywhere from 9 to 12 hours at night. Sometimes I think he sleeps to much but maybe he is just catching up on all the sleep that he has lost throughout the years. It has been so nice and quiet at night this past month. His stemming has also decreased in almost half. He is more aware and is even trying to talk more. He tries to mimick words instead of just saying "Pa" for everying. He still has melt downs and bangs his head, but that to has decreased. I guess what I'm trying to say is that the medication is working really well and we are really enjoying our time with our son.
