[quote=Anonymous]OP, if you are still reading. My kid takes medication for his ADHD (ASD as well) every day. Early on, we realized that he could not access any of his strategies (his was in $$$ social skills groups, seeing a therapist 1:1, OT, PT, changes in diet, getting lots of exercise, etc.) and participate in class (K and grade 1), after-school activities, birthday parties, camp--you name it--without being on medication. It was necessary then and even now, as a 18 year old. Meds did not change his personality. We worked with a child psychiatrist (now retired) to get the right medication and dosage. What works for one person does not work for another, so it might take some time. What we realized, along with his team of educators, medical providers, and caregivers, is that this was not going to solve itself or improve with age. Please hang in there and good luck on getting through this.[/quote]
