    Hi Elaine, I also worked with Rehab therapist from peds to neuro to op settings, I also have a Autistic 6 year old son. Suggested reading for you, Temple Grandin, Stephen Shore books, this will give you better insight. Temple's " Thinking in Pictures" Also you want to contact in your area the Center for Autism Related Disabilites, the University that is near by should have that information. Talk with BMC, Behavorial Management Consultants of the = to. You also need to reconsider the ADHD side of this. It does not fly when your child is Autistic, that branding can be very very wrong, I would seek aout opinions from Qualified, CME Credited hours in the Field of Autism, Psychologist. In Tallahassee, Casey Schmidt with Marks and Associates, he has been a key speaker on the topic as well as a very well educated psychologst in the field. Credentials is where this comes to.
    I would consider who told you your son has ADHD, what qualifications do they hold? Just some things to ponder and act on. If there is a local support group meeting, I say attend when you can, even if it is an Adult oriented meeting. Other caregivers/parents go, its a good sounding board for you and them, build on ideas and facts. Let me know if you need some additonal resources. Tigress035@yahoo.com if you like to contact me.
