[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do they have experience handling HFA ASD / aspergers and AdHD inattentive? 
Or at least spending some time and tactics sussing out if it’s one or the other or both, and how to treat? 
Do they treat adults too?[/quote]
Would not recommend them for ASD.  [b]Go to caatonline.com.[/b]

Chesapeake does take ADHD adults.[/quote]

Yeah, I hear you but CAAT is a PITA to schedule and although nice, there is a bit of latent attitude of "we're busy and in demand and therefore you will jump when we say to do so." Also, if ADHD is the "bigger" problem, you might want to focus more on that.  We were at CAAT for very mild ASD symptoms, but when they discovered the ADHD after DS went to ES, the CAAT practice had nothing to offer, except "look for an ADHD specialist who has CBT in their bag of tricks."  No internal referral.  But they very much want us to keep returning for more te$ting, etc.  YMMV, but I would just encourage PP to look at their kid's entire range of behaviors and those that seem to be the most limiting and then make a decision.  Chesapeake lists ASD as one of the conditions they treat, which makes sense because it is a relatively common comorbid condition.  [/quote]
