I just wander to give you all a update on my DS. He was two different meds that the doctor what him to take and they were not working at all. Nathan is also going to OT once a week and he needs alot of work. I just love his OT and so does he. Today I talk to is doctor and he said that the meds should help with the ADHD and noe he said it is Asperger's Syndrome. He is also not happy with DS school and neither am I. And he told me that we need to get him out of the school as soon as possible. His teacher is lying to me and they did not want to change his IEP like the doctor and the incision teacher talk about. Anyway that is the update.

Mindy,

sometimes ADHD meds DO help with kids with Asperger's and Autism. Sometimes the med isn't right and sometimes the child doesn't benefit from ADHD meds anyway.

Legally it sounds like the school needs to be held accountable.
