[QUOTE="Audrey, post: 323488, member: 8114"] I know that medications are often helpful with the ADHD behaviors in kids with Aspergers. I didn't mean to imply that I disagreed with their use. However, our son does not display hyperactivity on a consistent basis, only in situations where there is too much external stimulii (however he perceives it). The school had been badgering me (yes, that's how I felt) about putting him on medications. After the fourth conversation with them trying to convince me that he needed medications and my telling them that I was going to wait until the neuropsychologist evaluation before assuming that, the counselor at school said to me "How will you react if they tell you he needs medications?". To which I replied, "How will you react if they don't?!" So, that's where my "vindication" really comes in I guess. If, in the future, it is deemed appropriate for difficult child to try medications, I'll be all for it! Whatever will help, bring it on! [/QUOTE]
