Carson had his 4 year checkup today. He was diagnosed with ADHD which didn't come as a shock. Children with Autism usually have some form of adhd. It is manageable for now and it's not interfering with his focus at school.
The doctor told us that he hasn't found a medication yet that works well for kids on the spectrum because stimulant medications are what is prescribed for ADHD. Stimulants and autism don't go together. Most of the time these medications will have the opposite effect.
I think we have him on the right track and medication free! As you can see in the pictures below, Carson has been very calm lately. He is doing just fine!
