I[b]s there a bit of Asperger's going on there?[/b] I'm asking because my 10 year son has both and it's sometimes impossible to say whether some of his behavior is perseverance stemming from Asperger's or hyperfocus coming from ADHD. He, too, will get fixated on certain subjects. I have no compunction in shutting this down, and no guilt at getting annoyed with him. After all, these kids know we love them. They also need to understand how to fit into society and that some behaviors will impede social and professional interactions.

NP.  I'm glad you posted this.  I have two SN kids - both incorrectly diagnosed at one point or another.  One ADHD child turned out to have Asperger's which was missed by five testers - now as an adult it is very obvious that DC is autistic but wasn't when younger.  Meanwhile, other ADHD kid turned out not to have ADHD - and that one hated medication.  So what I'm guess I'm trying to say kindly is based upon your description, OP, I would advise more testing unless you've recently had it done (every 3 years is a good idea) because there may be more going on here than ADHD.[/quote]
