[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 655479, member: 11791"] I'm not sure how you get from a diagnosis of Autism, to a diagnosis of ADHD. Normally, if you are on the autism spectrum, that more than covers most other possible diagnoses on the developmental side (ADHD, Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), etc. are frequently part of autism). I'd be putting the focus on the autism factor - and getting school accommodations and assistance with that (an IEP for one). Who did the autism diagnosis? and the ADHD diagnosis? Has he ever had a comprehensive evaluation - the kind that take 8-10 hours of testing, often over more than one day so the kid isn't overwhelmed? If not, I think you should pursue that. [/QUOTE]
