[quote=Anonymous]I have a 8 yr old with ASD, Asperger's, and ADHD, combined type, who is medicated, Focalin XR, but not in the summer. Meds are not going to help with obsessive interests/perseveration and rigidity. It may help with the hyperactivity, attention/focus, and impulsivity. We had only started meds this March and will go back on them when school starts. DS does well academically with or without meds but he seems "happier" on meds, more confident and less depressed. Other than that the other main difference on meds is that he is more social and less hyper. He was never impulsive. No personality changes. He is who he is. It's hard.... [/quote]
