He never had this issue until we started him on his anti psychotic medication for his self injurious behavior. This is different than the Ritalin we tried and stopped over Christmas break.
You ever try to get a severely autistic kid to drink Miralax? Rates right up there with our giving him a suppository the other day.
I have to give my mother Miralax. I mix it with cranberry juice or lemonade and sometimes water. She has no clue. How are you doing it?
We have a random water cup just sitting out that he sips on, but if we really need him to drink it, we'll put it in Sprite.
Now that we have all day to get three servings in him, I'll probably try to wrestle with him all day. Get him a little sweaty and he starts drinking water!
We put some in apple juice, but that is only a 50/50 shot.
Essentially everything he has out as a drink has Miralax in it.
This will now become a regular occurrence.
