[quote=Anonymous]op yours sounds just like mine who has adhd and may or may not be on the spectrum (experts disagree but it almost doesn't matter). the reason for a diagnosis in the scenario you describe is that it can help you better support the challenges. but it's no a panacea. It could be that he has ADHD, which can delay maturity, lead to oppositional behavior and causes low frustration tolerance. A lot of this 'varietal' of adhd will ALSO get an ASD dx. I more rarely see asd dx alone when the main issue is emotional regulation and frustration tolerance. For us, ADHD medication, parenting modification, group therapy and sports have been the most helpful but i will still have days like today when I want to scream. so you have my solidarity. [/quote]
