Autism with shunted brain tumor

Autism with shunted brain tumor

13 yr old boy with autism and had shunted brain tumor when he was 2 yrs. With anti-seizer medication among other calming meds.

Can not get meds to calm him now and doctors say it is because the portion of brain that the shunt was put in is the area that handles hormones.....so he is spiking and nothing seems to calm him.  Even the lithium didn't work.  They are saying maybe they won't be able to help him.

I cannot believe that their isn't another person that has had to deal with this....they will be trying to combine some meds.
If the calming ones won't help, is it possible that the opposite meds that would speed someone up will work to calm him?

We are desperate, we had a calm loving boy and now this last year he is angry, upset, lashing out and doesn't like the way he looses control.
