Aspergers son with ADHD

Suzza

My son has recently been diagnosed with ADHD. We have been hiding the medication in a chocolate mousse before school. He is now refusing the mousse And we are going to have to talk to him about talking it with water. and swallowing the tablets. He is very difiant and will not go for this option. he HAS to take it for school or he really can't cope. He is 8 years old. I really am stuck and desecrate . Any ideas???

thankyou x

  • He probably knows instinctively that it is poison.  

    Obviously you are doing your best as a parent and it must all be horribly stressful for both of you, but I think if a child needs to be medicated to cope with school but is fine at home, surely the fault is with the school. 

    Sorry if this doesn't sound very helpful, but I get so angry hearing about kids being medicated to cope with a dysfunctional environment!
