[quote=Anonymous]No. DS had an ASD/Asperger's diagnosis so we thought the running around in circles and some of the other repetitive behaviors were stims. Once DS was diagnosed with ADHD and medicated, the hyperactive behaviors disappear at least until the medication, Focalin XR, wears off. DS also has stimming behaviors from the ASD but they are not nearly as problematic as his unmedicated ADHD whirling dervish behaviors. He also is not impulsive or has issues with emotional regulation. No anxiety issues according to his neuropsych eval.[/quote]
