My child is 12 and has Down syndrome, autism, OCD, ADD/ADHD and is bi-polar (pervasive developmental disorder) Despite all this, she is relatively high functioning and very artistic. She tried to kill herself several times when she was 8 and since then has been on large doses of ritalin, rispardal and sleep medications. I don't like giving her these meds because I know they are not good for her regardless of the fact that they enable her to function.

Does anyone have any suggestions of alternative medical treatments to deal with these types of issues?
