I need advice please

I'm was just told by my son's school that he only has ADHD but I have a doctor that told me the it was Asperger's Syndrome but he didn't write it on paper.

Hi Mindy,
First of all welcome! In all honesty, what does your heart say?! I was told ds# 1was ADHD, Bipolar and general anxiety disorder until we finally were listened to by a different scxhool district and we received the ASD dx. I had been saying since he was 3 he was ASD and he was 6 and a half when we finally received the dx. I am so glad I trusted my Mommy intuition, which sounds like you are totally in touch with btw.
Can youy go back to the doctor and get him to officially put the ASD dx on paper? Many school psychs and counsellors know very little abiout Aspergers and it often is miss dx as ADHD.
Hope the eval goes well on Monday.

Hello and welcome,
I do think you are goign the right way. Dee said pretty much what I was going to say: Follow your instinct. mommy instinct is a very powerful tool.

I know that there was something wrong when he was little.
We were also told, by his kindergarten teacher, that our son had ADHD.

I have to chime in with Dee, similar experience here too. IF your instinct says it is ASD, go for it.
