[QUOTE="buddy, post: 521525, member: 12886"] AWWWW I posted from my phone earlier and I see it did not go through! Poo-poo! Ok, so you got the message, it is just not that easy to pick out when kids are little.... there are just too many folks who think that kids are NOT social at all or dont play with toys at all and they dont fully understand the SPECTRUM part of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). You did what you thought was best and it is not like you have ignored him all this time! Even with the diagnosis, we just have to do our best to deal with issues as they come up. Now that you know, one thing that may happen is that with the right interventions the ADHD types of symptoms may improve (that is if they are more Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) related rather than a chemical or structural brain area as in primary ADHD...but of course some of our lucky kids do have both).... so it may be something to look forward to. You are doing awesome. It is just kind of sad to hear even if it helps to hear the answer. Yet we soldier on. He is the same kid, just have more opportunities to fight for more services now.... make sure you come back and vent. (Dont be surprised if your emotions are all over the place on this...it is an adjustment to realize the reality of it, I promise more than a few of us her know how that feels!) [/QUOTE]
