Suggest Treatment For ADHD With Aggressive Behavior
Well, my son is five years old he's very hyper that nothing can calm him down.He has temper tantrums and fits like a two year old.I he talks like a two almost 3 year old,but his language is improving.He doesn't get along with children his age or older.He only gets along with younger children.I went to see a neruologist and he was diagnosed with ADHD & DDBS.He has been in preschool,speech and O.T since he was 3.I see some changes but...Slowly what is wrong with my son? Is it autism?Is there a treatment and where do we go to get a treatment?

Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
I would suggest you get a formal assessment from a developmental paediatrician, to rule out whether it is autism or only social skill deficit with ADHD. After specific diagnosis only we will be able to start appropriate therapy for him.
I hope I have helped you
Thank you
