Alex is 19, and we're beginning to deal with his future. I have
several questions:

1. The doctor wants to start him on testosterone for his bones. Alex
functions like a 2 year old. Has anyone else with a child with
autistic symptoms used testosterone? What has been your experience?
2. Does anyone else's child work, in a workshop or other program?
How has that worked out?

Lastly, I have a feeling we have lots of different age groups in this
group. Maybe we should all report our children's ages, so that we can
figure out what the different issues are at different times in our
children's lives.

Thanks,
Ivy
