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

  • Mainstream can be hard for our children, esp if they haven't got the necessary support.  What does the school provide for him?  Teaching assistant? Support at playtime?  How autism-aware as all the staff? Meds have their place when everything else has failed so it's worth thinking about anything else school does that might be distressing him.  I'm not saying they're not a good school but stresses are well documented on this site when a child's in mainstream + can worsen as they get older.
