[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 455154, member: 11791"] If he is Asperger's, then the psychiatrist cannot give him the ADHD or ODD dxes... as in, the way dsvm is written, Asperger's overrides ALL the other dxes. He might be trying to note that the current primary issues present similar to ADHD and/or ODD... but you need to treat the Asperger's diagnosis as the "real" diagnosis - and yes, he needs WAY more help than he is getting, and YOU need way more support, too. Aspie kids THINK different, and you have to learn what that means and how to work with it... I'm not an Aspie expert - but many of the parents on the board are... and repeatedly, we hear them saying that the "normal" approaches for dealing with ADHD - including stimulant medds - just DO NOT WORK.
