[quote=Anonymous]I've read the threads about tics and adhds. My DS has a very complex action which we've been told is likely a stereotypies. it involves fist clenching, grimacing, and making blasting noises - he snaps out immediately when you talk to him, but says he does it because he's "thinking". It clearly feels good and is a release to him. A neurospscyh didn't see it but guessed a stereotypie since he can stop at will, and especially because of the "I'm thinking" comments. This action has increased significantly over the last 6 months. DS has an adhd diagnosis, but no ASD -- though several experts agree he has ASD characteristics. We have changed his adhd meds a bit over this last year, and I'm wondering if some of the meds are increasing the stereotpyies. He seemed way improved on focalin, but significantly worse on intuniv. Anyone know anything about adhd meds and stereotypies? [/quote]
