[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 256350, member: 1550"] What about the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)? That autism is hurting him more than the ADHD. Plus Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and ADHD are usually hand-in-hand. Are you going to request any interventions to help him with life and social skills and understanding how to take notes and how to just deal with stuff that comes up? in my opinion ADHD is the least of your problems here--Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is more serious. JMO. Also most Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids require more "down" time than "typical" kids. They have trouble enough with six hours of school. They need to have their evenings to themselves or they go into overload. And no medications will help with that because Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is not something you can medicate. Interventions specifically for autism work best for Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified and Aspergers unless the Aspie is EXTREMELY bright and even then, Aspies do not know how to socialize. THis becomes a huge issue when the kids become pre-teenagers. I suggest addressing life skills and social skills now, and in the IEP. [/QUOTE]
