You are obviously looking for the best advice possible, so please if you can do anything to rectify this situation then do it and as soon as possible. I am so proud of you even though I dont know you, for recognising that this man is in difficulty, please go to someone who can help him, go to his or indeed your Dr. and seek immediate advice. This is wrong, you know it I know it and I am sure every other user of this site will see it for what it is.  It is abuse of the worst kind.  I have a son with special needs, and this is my worst nightmare. I applaud your concern, now please get help for him....

Your son is screaming silently for help.  Hopefully the hospital admits him into a treatment program.  However, your son needs to help himself.  This will only happen when he is ready to accept help.  I am going through something similar to this with my own daughter. \n      Good luck to you and your son.

this is serious...he suffers from delusional schizophrenia...here is the site to the AMA....they have a directory of good psychiatrists who can treat this illness... your son may not subject to treatment, but if he is anything like you say he is, he can be committed & made to subject to treatment which will help him...otherwise, trust me, he will continue to deteriorate...just do it...\n\nhttp://www.ama-assn.org/\n\nGod Bless You & please do what is right

My son has Tourettes OCD and ADHD.  He is only 11 and is on Clonodine.  I am wondering if eventually it will not work for him anymore.\n\nI am curious what your neurologist has to say.  I have heard that it takes trial and error and sometimes years to find what works best.  It may be possible for your child to function OK without any medicine.  It will just take time to adjust to the tics and incorporate them into daily living. \n\nBlessings to you.  If you want to, please feel free to contact me through this site to discuss further.

Your son is ill and no one, not even a doctor, can diagnose him without an examination and/or testing.  Please ger him to a doctor asap.  You've already let him suffer a high fever for 2 days and he hasn't gotten better.  That means that medical intervention is required.  Now please call your doctor!

My child was diagnosed with this condition. Conventional medical experts pushed medications and said they would be for life.  Go the alternative road.  THere is NO harm in trying.  All of my son's symptoms disappeared when we treated food and environmental allergies.  Get and read the following 2 books used from Amazon: 1. IS THis Your Child, Doris Rapp, MD 2. Food Allergy Cure, Ellen Cutler, MD   Just do it!  You will be glad you didi!

This is such a sensitive question. I admire you for standing by your man in this way. It is the right thing to do. And I would get in touch with the national epilepsy foundation. I know there are resources and maybe even support groups for families or couples dealing with this issue. It is not that uncommon you know. I have actually helped someone when this happened to them. It is a little scary at first, but it is also such a loving time to be there for another human being when they obviously need you. Get some more info. Get into a network of support. I know you will be a great friend.

It could be psycological but it is far more likely it is neurological. I would get him into a pediatrican and let the doctor check him out.

From my personal research (I am epileptic) it is not common in humans, but it is in animals.  As people we can take an alternative approach like ayurvedic meds.  But generally AEDS works the best.

This conditon is called "AKINETIC EPILEPSY". But it is not fits or any other serious ailment.It gradually disappears with age.Empathy is all that he needs.

Beware of any treatment called a 'miracle cure'... Autism is such a pervasive disorder, that a single drug is unlikely to ever 'cure it'. It may be that some of the symptoms may be reduced, but considering that autism affects the development of a child's brain, it is unlikely that anything (in the near future) will be able to 'undo' developmental pathogenenes. \n\nThis article shows the current state of mind concerning 'miracle drugs'\n\nNovel treatments for autistic spectrum disorders.\n\nLevy SE, Hyman SL.\n\nChildren's Seashore House, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia, 1914, USA. Levys@email.chop.edu\n\nIn no area of developmental pediatric practice is there more controversy regarding the choice of treatment than related to children with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD). Complementary and alternative medical therapies (CAM) are often elected because they are perceived as treating the cause of symptoms rather than the symptoms themselves. CAM used for autism can be divided by proposed mechanism: immune modulation, gastrointestinal, supplements that affect neurotransmitter function, and nonbiologic intervention. Secretin as a therapy for autism is discussed as an example of how a clinical observation rapidly grew to a widespread treatment before well-designed studies demonstrated absence of effect. The plausibility for behavioral effect was not substantiated by clinical studies. CAM used for treatment of autism is examined in terms of rationale, evidence of efficacy, side effects, and additional commentary. Families and clinicians need access to well-designed clinical evidence to assist them in choice of therapies.

Part 2: medical management.\n\nKidd PM.\n\nAutism and allied autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) present myriad behavioral, clinical, and biochemical abnormalities. Parental participation, advanced testing protocols, and eclectic treatment strategies have driven progress toward cure. Behavioral modification and structured education are beneficial but insufficient. Dietary restrictions, including removal of milk and other casein dairy products, wheat and other gluten sources, sugar, chocolate, preservatives, and food coloring are beneficial and prerequisite to benefit from other interventions. Individualized IgG or IgE testing can identify other troublesome foods but not non-immune mediated food sensitivities. Gastrointestinal improvement rests on controlling Candida and other parasites, and using probiotic bacteria and nutrients to correct dysbiosis and decrease gut permeability. Detoxification of mercury and other heavy metals by DMSA/DMPS chelation can have marked benefit. Documented sulfoxidation-sulfation inadequacies call for sulfur-sulfhydryl repletion and other liver p450 support. Many nutrient supplements are beneficial and well tolerated, including dimethylglycine (DMG) and a combination of pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and magnesium, both of which benefit roughly half of ASD cases. Vitamins A, B3, C, and folic acid; the minerals calcium and zinc; cod liver oil; and digestive enzymes, all offer benefit. Secretin, a triggering factor for digestion, is presently under investigation. Immune therapies (pentoxifyllin, intravenous immunoglobulin, transfer factor, and colostrum) benefit selected cases. Long-chain omega-3 fatty acids offer great promise. Current pharmaceuticals fail to benefit the primary symptoms and can have marked adverse effects. Individualized, in-depth clinical and laboratory assessments and integrative parent-physician-scientist cooperation are the keys to successful ASD management.\n\n\nConcerning chelation therapy, although it may well be effective in some cases, it has some serious risks: one boy died during threatment: http://www.post-gazette.co
