My 15 year old son has just been diagnosed with Asperger. The clinician is doing a test which i think is likely to reveal Attention deficit disorder. He has become very irratable and impulsive if I tell him to do something and as he has just started GCSE is getting very stressed impulsive and rigid about following things to the rule. I have spoken to his teachers at school. I am finding him quite unmanagable sometimes. I wanted some advice as to what experience people have of medications and if they help. I do not want to him to suffer like some of the stories I have read about people on medications. His symptoms suddeny got worse in adolescence. From peoples experience how is it best to navigate this difficult time and when does it subside. In the late teens or further. Is it possible to get through this difficult teenage time without medication and a good routine and cognitive behavioural therapy. Thank you
