[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Follow your gut. Full stop. Treat the symptoms that are a challenge for him. Who cares if they are ASD vs ADHD in nature. [/quote] This. My kid was diagnosed as a teen. First, ADHD and then ADHD. Practitioners recognize that there is a big overlap between the conditions. Don’t worry about labels. Just treat the symptoms. [/quote] My DD was mis-diagnosed with ADHD about 6 years ago, and this Februrary, at 20 years old, she was found to have NO ADHD but she is ASD. Which, ironically, my gut told me she had ASD and that's why I had her tested in the first place, and also my gut told me the ADHD dx didn't fit, but went along with it. So now with the ASD dx, my DD and I and her psychiatrist and therapist all agree it "fits" But the meds stayed the same, OP. So like PP said, treat the symptoms your DC has, regardless of the label.[/quote]
