Guest guest Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I have a 13 year old that was diagnosed with aspergers 4 years ago. We are considering medication to help him stay focused in school. His pediatrician has not favored this avenue. We now feel we need to see an adolescent psychiatrist or nuerological psychiatrist for further evaluation. We would appreciate recommendations from someone who has gone this route. We live in Pompano Beach and don't know who to go to for this evaluation. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Check for lithium levels and Vitamin D levels first. He may be deficient and they are very important for attention and focusing! > > > I have a 13 year old that was diagnosed with aspergers 4 years ago.
