Namenda

Exactly one week ago our 13 year old Autistic girl started Namenda for the first time. I am pleased to report that her cognitive connection seems to show signs of improvement already! With increased sociability, profound remarks and extremely advanced communication!

She is not allowed to watch a certain show on Cartoon Network. There was a commercial that came on and she yelled "Hey Ally", and when I looked at her she was looking right at me and then she stuck her tongue out at me! Fully aware that she was teasing me because she knew she was not allowed to watch the show! Perfect eye contact!

We are very intrigued with this medication and are crossing our fingers for further improvement!
