My son has Asperger like syndrome. Now that we have the diagnosis I thought that we would get lots of help and services but we have had absolutely nothing. My son has severe depression and sleep problems. The doctor just keeps upping his dose of anti depressants( certraline) and that is it. She issued a warning yesterday to Ds that there is a higher risk of suicide on this dose. I feel that she has just put the thought into his mind now and don't see the point of a warning like that at all, not to DS anyway. Does anyone have experience of higher dose anti depressants for aspergers?
What help should we be getting?
He is also trying to do his exams which is only making him more stressed.
