DS2 has just had to go back onto a steroid inhaler (becotide) for asthma. He's also just finished a course of oral steroids. It seems to have made his behaviour very different - he is normally placid and fairly quiet, but has become extremely noisy and more demanding and stroppy than usual - refusing to wear certain clothes and do certain activities that he would normally just have accepted.
In many ways this is a positive thing - he can be abnormally passive and I think it's much better and more natural for him to assert himself. He has also become more verbal - he seems to be able to find words more easily and quickly than before, which is great. But there's also more verbal stimming with noises, not so great at 5 am! And more stimming in general too.
Anyone else experienced this?
