carrieq Report post Posted February 10, 2007 Hi, I am looking for that illusive book too that deals purely with the dual dx. The best one I have read to date is "Kids in the Syndrome Mix of ADHD, LD, Aspergers, Tourette's, Bipolar and More!" by Martin L. Kutscher. It was easy to read and informative, a bit scary especially as it is thought ds may have some more "bits" added to his dx. I found it useful with some good ideas for school!

JsMum Report post Posted February 10, 2007 Thanks, I have seen this book on amazon.co.uk and it did look good, another book that looked similair was one called the spectrum tapestry, so I will order them together, not much on duel diagnoses though is there, I did look at a website that is a mum with a child with ADHD and AS, that was again good but not enough up to date information but it did describe J to a T with him having ADHD as well as ASD. I also went on Toni Attwoods website and he is doing research on ADHD and AS as there is a lot of children with AS also showing ADHD and vice vercer so I do suspect he will bring a book out on dual diagnosis. any further reading material is welcome JsMum Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darky Report post Posted February 10, 2007 Hi, i have the book "weaving the autistic tapestry" or something like that. Its a great book, the author tries to link ADHD, Autism in together. Its quite hard going though, and not quite "plain English" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
