When do you say enough is enough!

My son has just been diagnosed with ASD and already has ADHD. What we as a family are struggling with is when he is being 'naughty' and when it is not necessarily under his control.

When do you get to the point when you say enough is enough? He has just got back from his Dad's and said my Dad says I don;t have ADHD and I don't need my mediaction. I just don't know how I'm supposed to compete against someone who is always telling hom different.

  • It's not that he doesn't have his medication, that doesn't bother me like you said I can give it to him here, it's the fact that my son is now saying I don't have ADHD and I don't have to take my medication.

    We did not split up because of this, we spolit over 6 years ago because he was an alcoholic, agressive drunk who mental, emotional and physically abused me. DS was diagnosed just over 2 years ago. My ex just thinks he knows everything. DS has just come back from 9 days at dad's with his hands red raw and bleeding where is OCD makes him wash his hands all the time.
