[quote=Anonymous]I have a pretty similar kid--i know all kids are different, but in case the story helps a little. He has had all the evaluations (a couple of times) and his diagnoses are ADHD (combined and severe), generalized anxiety, severe Dysgraphia. Also very academically motivated. Rigidity went way down when we treated anxiety. Biggest parts of treatment were: 1) taking him out of public school 2) therapy 3) medication for anxiety. After a couple of years we were able to discontinue medication and kid can manage. His rigidity no longer an issue at all, except in occasional moments of high anxiety. No longer any ocd tendencies whatsoever. No longer fits ASD profile (he never had that diagnosis, but had red flags.). We have never successfully medicated for ADHD as his anxiety diagnosis makes stimulants tricky and non-stimulants don't seem to have any effect but doing great oveall.[/quote]
