[quote=Anonymous]This was my DS precisely at that age. Definitely not HFA. You’re really jumping to conclusions on that. My son did not start on stimulants until high school and I would definitely not put such a young kid on anti-anxiety meds. I didn’t even know doctors would prescribe them to someone so young. Please do get a great therapist to do CBT, some social skills groups, and a little later, executive function coaching. All of these things were far more helpful for my son than all the drugs. And before people jump all over me—he has quite severe ADHD and massive executive function deficit. And yes, it was very very hard on his self-esteem and still is as a sophomore at a top 20 university. Truly I’m not judging, but I really would re-think multiple meds for such a young guy with ADHD. Good luck! [/quote]
