I Need Some Help To Help My Son

[Guest guest]

My son is 7 years old and he has ADHA and Asperger. I have been calling around

to see how I can help my son out and nothing everyone tells me that if he had

ADHA alone they could help out but being that he has Asperger they can not help.

I live in Hialeah, Fl and have no idea who to trun to. Can anyone help me out

plz or at least give me some ideas?

Holly Marie,

I’m a retired

pediatrician. My 15 yr old has PDD-NOS. My older son and their father ( my

ex) have ADD.

The doctor who made the

diagnosis of ADHD and Asperger’s should have referred you to proper

resources if they are not qualified themselves to do the treatment.

ADHD is often seen with

Asperger’s. So, if the person treating your son with Ritalin/Concerta

does not know how to do the social skills training, then try these websites to

educate your self and find some local resources.
