My son was recently diagnosed aspergers & adhd...
I've been back and forth on these boards ... 3 years ago we had him evaluated for what I thought was ODD but the testing was inconclusive and he got a little better so we dropped it...
Continued issues led us to a neuropsychologist for proper testing and these were her findings.... The aspergers is likely mild ...
We then went to a dev. beh. pediatrician who gave us a prescription for vyvanse. He took 1/2 doses last thurs, fri & sat. and a full dose on sunday and today... (20mg).
My son has very mild asthma ... usually brought on by colds or exertion... We have a nebulizer but use it rarely.....
Yesterday - he was coughing all day .. a dry cough that sounded like an asthma cough and I gave him a nebulizer treatment twice... even so - he coughed a lot at night until he finally stopped. this morning he seemed a little better but still coughing and wheezy ... I gave him another nebulizer treatment before sending him off to school. We're seeing the dev. pediatrician again tomorrow and didn't want him to miss more school.
Anyway - I'm wondering if the wheezing is a result of the medications? or just a coincidence?
Thanks,
Rachel
