[quote=Anonymous]I have ADHD, diagnosed as an adult. DH probably would have been diagnosed with ASD and/or ADHD if he were a child now. DS has ADHD, combined type, and ASD. I guess what gives me hope is that DH and I did well academically in school enough to get into elite private schools including law schools without medications or accommodations. Actually, our whole family is like this. My BIL, my husband's brother, said after we told him about DS's diagnosis, "Look at our families. Kid is 'doomed'". BIL did not walk until 26 months, could not look people in the eye until well into his 20ties, and is currently a semi-retired radio deejay, ex-college prof. DS's symptoms are less than ours was when we were his age and he has an IEP and a whole slew of experts including a child psychiatrist, neuropsych, etc. to help him. I think he will do just fine.[/quote]
