[quote=Anonymous]The defiance and oppositional behavior is the ADHD... At least according to our child psychiatrist. I have a kid who is 8 with both ADHD, combined type, and ASD/Asperger's with a very high IQ. Agree with the pp that his meds may need to be adjusted. The emotional regulation will improve as he gets older with more maturity. Mine did. My childhood was a series of daily meltdowns (only at home) until 10. Diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. My kid with ASD/ADHD is an angel compared to how I was at 8. He rarely has meltdowns, maybe 3-4 times a yr. It is important that he learns how to deal with frustration yet at the same time, I don't want academics to be "too easy" for him. We solved this issue by sending him to a Mandarin immersion school (no one else in our family knows Mandarin). His cousins who have a similar profile play chess competitively and learn computer programming.[/quote]
