[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I could have written this! A nueropysch uncovered details that have helped explain the underlying why. We are systematically trying different interventions and supports with medication soon but last. The 1x1 therapist for social skills has helped immensely, but feels like all kids are struggling with friendships in this over programmed and lonely age. Playing card games slowly was rec to build frustration tolerance and seems to help. You might probe for a diagnosis again? Good luck![/quote]

Thanks op here! What sort of details did the neuropsych undercover that helped explain the underlying why? [/quote]

not this pp but less so that the neurospsych uncovered the 'why' as much as that poor emotional regulation is a hallmark symptom of adhd and cognitive rigidity is a hallmark symptom of asd. Once you understand that (with or without neuropsych) you can begin to troubleshoot. as others have pointed out, if a provider concurs that adhd plays a part, then medication is your first line of offense. If your dc is displaying autistic traits like rigidity and not picking up the social cues that being the opposite of easy going creates social issues, then it's really about working on it with them. but for audhd kids they often need the medication first so they have that extra help controlling their impulses to be rigid and bossy and can take a beat. the emotional regulation is a tough nut to crack.
