My son is 17 years old and I am conflicted about his Asperger's diagnosis. His pediatrician who has been treating him since birth, seems to doubt the diagnosis. We had him tested at age 13 by a Neuropsychiatrist who diagnosed him with Asperger's, ADHD, depression, anxiety, and DMDD - disruptive mood disregulation disorder. After going through the accountability course on this website, there are a few things that seem to match up and help my son, but there are also many things that don't seem to apply to him. I'm wondering, if the symptoms that I have been contributing to Asperger's, can be explained by his other diagnoses. Most of them are behavioral and social, and seem to be lessened by taking Vyvanse, which shouldn't be the case, if they were primarily caused by Asperger's, right?
