Our son has Asperger's, but his father and brother both have ADD, so we had originally treated him with some various ADD meds, hoping to help him focus. Well, what we got was a never-ending round of tics that continue to cycle to this day, long after the meds were stopped for not being of use. The school is focused on dealing with the ADD-type behaviors (disorganization, need for visual schedule, constant reminders) as part of his autistic support. We also see Reactive-Attachment Disorder behaviors as well, stealing food, testing, etc., which is not on your list. It's always something new. :) babs I agree that often these separate tags seem to all appear under the Asperger’s umbrella.
