tremors can be a side effect of medications if he's on any, especially antipsychotics

Hi. My son (26) had tremors before, but it was due to high levels of Risperdal. He did have Tardive Dyskinesia. However, before that diagnosis, he had an MRI ordered by his Neurologist to rule out any issues with his brain. Definitely contact his primary care physician. Hugs and I hope you find out what’s going on.

Absolutely @A MyAutismTeam Member! My son had them off and on for 2 weeks when he was prescribed Risperidol last year. Got him off of that quick!

G can't have caffeine. It can cause tremors, amongst other issues. Also, anxiety can cause tremors.
