Thank you! That's really what I wanted to hear. I don't think he's ADD, really. It is the autism, and I kind of wanted to shout "DUH! He's Autistic you morons!"

I thought maybe my friend's daughter was snap diagnosed, but I'd never really seen her at school, so I really couldn't say. I know medication can help, but I don't like being told 'he's having behavior problems, maybe he should have drugs.'

I think you are right about the stress levels.

You're smart! You must have gone to Harvard! :)
