TActually the benadryl was his pediatricians suggestion. He has asthmatic allergies so it does double duty. He gets the calm and allergy relief. As far as meds go, this is a choice I can make without messing with his little brain chemicals. And a therapist, also. I know that is a necessity to help him and it is something I'm not trained to do. Though I have a big part in his life and will continue to do anything to help my children.
