Seek comprehensive professional evaluation: Consult a developmental pediatrician, child psychologist, or neurologist.
* Detailed observation: Keep a log of behaviors, triggers, and the nature of fits.
* Structured environment: Implement a consistent daily routine at home.
* Positive reinforcement: Encourage and praise desired behaviors.
* Limit screen time: Reduce excessive digital exposure.
* Physical activity: Ensure ample opportunities for active play.

✅ What You Should Do Next:
1. Multidisciplinary Therapy Approach (not just medication):
• Occupational Therapy (OT): For attention, behavior control, and motor skill development.
• Special Education Support: To help him catch up with academic basics (writing, reading).
• Speech & Language Therapy: If he struggles to express himself properly.
• ABA Therapy or Behavior Modification Techniques: Especially helpful if aggressive or hyperactive behavior persists.
2. Medical Monitoring:
• Medications like Risperidone and Olanzapine should be:
• Given only under child psychiatrist supervision
• Reviewed every 2–4 weeks initially
• Dose adjusted as per response and side effects (e.g., weight gain, sleepiness)
3. Deworming and Diet Check:
• Sometimes behavior worsens due to gut issues, sugar, junk food, or screen time overload.
• Ensure healthy routine, early bedtime, less screen exposure, and daily outdoor play.
