[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 742234, member: 1550"] If your younger child has autism, that runs strong In families. If one child has it another child has a 20 percent chance of having it too. Your oldest may also have autism rather than just ADHD and anxiety, both which are present in autism. If you havent yet I would have him reevaluated by a neuropsychologist (A psychologist with extra training in tje brain). You can find them at university and childrens hospitals. My son has it but was wrongly diagnosed with both ADHD and bipolar until he was 11. Then once he got the right diagnosis his life changed for the extreme better and he did very well and is doing great at 25. I would definitely do this. ADHD is treated differently than Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and is not as serious as Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and you need to find out. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is very often misdiagnosed until middle school so the kids don't get the right interventions. They are usually stuck just taking stimulants, which doesnt help most with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). It made my son MORE aggressive. That is my recommendation Good luck! [/QUOTE]
