Common Questions and Answers about Adhd symptoms and autism
adhd
My son is 16 and has High Functioning Autism, ADD and a language processing disorder. ADD/ADHD are different than Autism and the Autism Spectrum Disorders
Aspergers is a unique type of Autism. However, High Functioning Autism (HFA) and Aspergers are different. One of the differences is language delay. Typically, Aspergers children do not have a language delay.
Also, Aspergers children tend to have an interest that is central to their conversations and thoughts all the time.
Inability to concentrate for any period of time is one of the main symptoms that has been present. He's been ruled out for Autism by a diagnosis team at a children's pediatric center after a 8 hour full evaluation. He was found to have a regulatory disorder and multipul development delays in gross and fine motor skills as well as verbal communication.
My son has been on the Feingold diet for mild autism and adhd symptoms. I noticed on the website that this diet can help with depression and suicidal thoughts. It also helps with violent behavior and insomnia.
I've been adding a lot of the food into my everyday life and can personally tell you I feel pretty good.
The diet eliminates foods with chemicals and dyes and even apples. Goodbye M&Ms and Skittles.
To get the shopping guide and brochures is a bit expensive.
Is thee a support group for a 22 yr old male with PDD, ADHD and bipolar disorder?
This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/275749'>...ADHD,Autism and PDD</a>.
In conclusion, ya he certainly does exhibit ADHD symptoms (and that is a lot easier to correct then autism). Do check out the tip toes. Definitely check out the SIDS - doctors are not real up on this so look at the web site and see what you think.
If after checking out the site on ADHD - you think that is a possibility, then definitely get the book I recommended as that will also give you ways to help/make the school attend to his problems. Hope this helps.
Hi, These symptoms are inconclusive I feel for autism? There is all types and only a proffessional who has the qualifications to diagnose this disability will be able to tell you. I Think the Drs involved are right in waiting to diagnose him. Things like Autism are a label for life. I hope you get some answers that you can be happy with for the time being.
It is very common for children on the Autism Spectrum to have symptoms of ADD, ADHD, anxiety disorders. Many doctors are hesitant to give a dual diagnosis. Kudos to your Doctor! Has your doctor given you referrals to the nearest Autism Society yet?
Do you have any specific questions or just looking for support right now?
My son is 6 and is also diagnosed with autism at first they said he was adhd and bipolar but just recently they changed that diagnoses to just autism they said there was no need for a adhd diagnoses because most autistic kids also have all the adhd symptoms as well.
Kay, I should also have mentioned to talk to his teacher and see if he has the same symptoms at school. And if so when do they happen? If he is fine in the morning, than its probably the adderall causing the problem. Furthermore, the standard practice is to start the child out at 30mg vyvanse and slowly increase the dosage. Did your doctor do this? If not - that's part of the problem (besides the doctor).
My son is a very calm, well behaved 7 1/2 year old. He has been diagnosed with inattentive type ADHD. He is extremely bright. He can only were certain clothes because others "don't feel right". He constantly clears his throat. He has very poor motor skills, cannot ride a bike, catch a ball, tie a shoe, use a fork properly. He has melt downs where is screams for everyone to get away from him. He has a fear of loud noise. Could it be more than ADHD? Could it be aspergers?
People with an identical twin with autism are much more likely to also have autism than people with a fraternal twin with autism and people with a sibling with autism are more likely to have autism than the general population is. That being said, the vast majority of children born to parents who have siblings with autism do not have autism. There is no mathematical, exact probability that is known at this point for what you are asking.
Hi...let me start by asking since they are now doing genetic testing for EDS post op.....did he have a dura patch placed
Sometimes when a person is rejecting a patch they over produce CSF fluid and it is then DX'd as having ICP and a shunt is placed....
Sometimes all that is needed is to replace the dura patch with tissue harvested from the patient to help lessen the CSF being produced.
I know when I went to school I had issues learning and focusing...
s), you can have autism but have epilepsy (very true) or you can have autism and have ADHD (the hyper activity part especially for my sons). My oldest, for example, has Asperger's Syndrome, epilepsy, ADHD (he's still on two meds for that), ODD (he picks his scalp to the point he has a hole in it), depression (very common in autism, as well as many other life altering dx), and finally insomnia (all three of my sons need meds to SLEEP).
