Hello
My son is 5 years old with ASD. About two weeks ago he started having really bad seasonal allergies and so far we have tried Zyrtec and Flonase both with very limited positive help but mostly all negative side effects like aggression lethargic and just not acting like himself. So I wanted to know what everyone gives there kids or what have you tried and if and what has worked positively or negatively. Please and thank you.
Thank you for all the help everyone, really appreciate it.

Hello! Ask the teacher if she is willing to allow you to do the schoolwork with him at home. Returning it later.

Is there any exemption reason I can use for not being able to work other than the level of care my daughter needs to be approve?
