Guest guest Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 We're currently fighting with the school over accommodations. Our son (who is 6) was originally diagonosed with SPD and ADHD around age 3. Last year he was officially diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. I know that I have been told and have read that the Asperger's diagnosis basically overwrites the ADHD diagnosis because the ADHD symptoms/behaviors are really part of the overall Asperger's Syndrome diagnosis. Apparently I need to educate our son's school to this because they keep focusing on the ADHD behaviors and are not understanding the need to address our son's sensory processing issues throughout the school day (which would be a proactive way to prevent some of the end of the day behavior problems we have at the after school program and at home). Can someone help me with some research and information that I can share with the school? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
