Hello everyone I am new and have a 7yr old who is dx adhd. He has been on meds for the last 10 months but have noticed some behaviour which I thought was down to his adhd but after reading some info on asd it sounds like him to a tee.
He doesnt understand jokes and sarcasm, cant put himself in anyone elses shoes, everything has to be done in his order like milk on cereal first then sugar or he goes mad. He hates loud noises and is scared of fireworks etc. Yesterday he wouldnt play in the garden unless he had his favourite ball which was in the car. Today he wouldnt eat his icecream until he had put his seatbelt on in the car even tho we werent going anywhere just sheltering from the rain. He gets very frustrated if things dont go his way and throws tantrums. His behaviour this holidays has been awful and his speech has deterioated as well (he has SALt) but has been stammering not on letters but on the first word of the sentence.
I could go on but i wont as this is my first post, just wondered what you thought of this and any advice. thanks
