VNS Experiences Wanted!

Mon, 12/29/2014 - 12:15

My son is 6 and scheduled to have a VNS on the 15th.  I am hopeful it might help with some of the autistic behaviors as well.  Have any of you seen an improvement in this?  He is 6, nonverbal, screams a lot, very happy but can't seem to control himself well enough to play or engage well, and learn language.
