[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 441640, member: 1169"] ADHD is on the spectrum :) You won't find all doctors agreeing with that statement but there is a growing contingent that believe that ADHD is past of the Autism Spectrum so they look at using the inteventions that work on some autistic kids to try and help kids with "just" ADHD. There isn't an "Autism medication" but they can medicate the symptoms: hyperactivity (stims, Strattera or Clonodine), anxiety (anti-anxiety or anti-depressives), aggresion/anger (anti-psychotics), and so on...medicating an autistic child (really any neurological, developmental or psychiatrically ill child) is far more art than science.
