[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 359742, member: 1550"] I'd like to add to what Marg said about the ADHD being a symptom of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). IT IS! My son has a terrible time concentrating, however Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids are also often sensitive to medication and stimulants just made him mean and aggressive. But there is definitely a strong link between the two. Kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) have much worse social skills. Some ADD kids have good social skills...my daughter has it and medications are really helping her concentration, but has amazing social skills for her age, really picks up social cues well, and has friends everywhere. My son is quite shy with anyone he doesn't know or in a group of new people.BUT some Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids are very friendly, although often inappropriate in the way they approach people. They need to be taught. Okay, off my soap box :raspberry-tounge: [/QUOTE]
