Daughter 8 diagnosed with ADHD/ASD should we try medication?

Hello All,

So my lovely 8 year old daughter (officially diagnosed ADHD/ASD) is becoming increasingly difficult to deal with, not that there's ever been an easy stage but lately things have really escalated.

She's often angry, always demanding and unreasonable. My wife and I are fairly anti-medication but recently I'm starting to see the appeal and possible benefits, I figure what do we have to lose by giving something (possibly methylphenidate) a chance.

can anyone with any similar situation share their experience, thank you.
