[quote=Anonymous]It's worth trying. ADHD is commonly comorbid with HFA. It's hard to tell however if your child has ADHD. Trouble attending, constantly needing redirection and prompting is a hallmark of ASD without ADHD. My kid with ASD who does not have ADHD according to his neuropsych needs lots more prompting and redirection than his NT classmates and it can be super frustrating for his teachers since DS can easily do the work when he wants to. The teachers use a behavior sticker chart everyday for each of his work modules. DS is a stickler for getting ALL his stickers and showing off the completed chart everyday to his parents. Providing external motivation and rewards have worked for him. After so many completed charts, he gets additional rewards like playdates, visit to his favorite park to look for bugs, additional mods into Minecraft, etc. [/quote]
