[quote=Anonymous]Getting him to try ADHD meds will be eye opening. After my DS was diagnosed with ADHD, combined type, and speaking to the neuropsychologist about his symptoms, it became very clear where DS gets his ADHD from. My ADHD symptoms are worse. DS also has ASD/Asperger's but most of his issues arise from the ADHD. He is medicated for the ADHD. After speaking to my internist, I am on Ritalin. Too bad I never had it in school. DH probably has ASD/Asperger's. We are both attorneys, multi degreed Ivy educated. Have your DH speak to his doctor. Meds are worth a try. They are short acting and he'll know pretty much right away whether they work. I had developed a lot of weird coping strategies for the ADHD while in school primarily picking at myself, cuticles, nails, scalp. The Ritalin gets rid of all of my OCD symptoms. Also, I haven't noticed any side effects other than decreased appetite but not enough to actually make me lose weight. Oh well...[/quote]
