Quote From: kimbrown5i have a 5 year old son and he was diagnosed with adhd. he shows the symptoms of aspergers but no one will listen. he has a wrap-around who comes all through the week and he takes adderall xr and there is no change in him. his regular phsychologist shot me down at the mere suggestion of aspergers syndrom. i applied for s.s.i for him and went to their phsychologist and he agreed with me . his doctor wont change his meds until he gets a report from this other phsychologist. now we havent heard back from him since before christmas...uuuugggghhhh!!!! what do i do now? i am confused, frustrated, worried and at my wits end......HELP ME!!!
If I were you ,I would take him to a different phsychologist , and get him rediagnosed. I have 2 children with asperger syndrome. My son is very hyperactive, but we don't have him on any meds. I have learned calming skills and taught the school what to do also. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't lol. I feel that meds just cover up the problem and that children like this need to learn how to calm themselves down. Its hard to find the right people, that know what they are talking about. My son had 3 different diagnoses before I took him to childrens hospital developmental unit and they finally gave me some help. I hope you find something out soon.
best wishes
