[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 537245, member: 2196"] My son takes ADHD medications and he does know he has ADHD. difficult child 1 has been telling him all along that he has it even before he was diagnosed because she has plenty of kids just like him in her ED classes and she knows the symptoms all too well. When psychiatrist officially diagnosed him with it it was already pretty apparent and no surprise to anyone (except his dad, who is still ignorant and thinks he's "normal.") I just wasn't sure about the autism and if I should even bother with explaining that diagnosis. I don't know how difficult child would react to finding out he is autistic. I am still learning about the diagnosis myself. In my opinion, difficult child 2 is not classis Asperger's although he does fit part of it, just not all. I don't want him to feel bad about himself but I also think he needs to be aware of the reasons behind why he has such a hard time relating to others. It's hard to explain it to him right now when I feel like I am having a hard time with it too. [/QUOTE]
