My 9 year old son has high functioning autism and has always had a hard time with concentration and focus. He has been on Prozac since grade 1 and it does help with his OCD and anxiety but now the Dr. want to put him on Vyvanse for the ADD. He already gets up every day by 6am and he can be an aggressive and moody child...does anyone have any experience with ADD and autism...and even perhaps vyvanse as well. Any info would help. ↓

I'd be leary about adding more meds...

maybe try a consultation with a nautropathic dr to see if there are any alternatives such as diet....

My 5 year old has concentration issues and I am considering sending her to one before the push comes to medicate her symptoms... ↑
