Our guy is 6 and has ASD. We were also told he has ADHD. He has a general pediatrician and a neurologist for his 2 meds he is on.

Hi Hrichards73.thank you so much!
I would deffinetly get him envolved with a group setting to learn how to socialize play games together etc and some speech maybe even ocupational therapy they will do evaluations for you also to tell you where he stands. They have resources that they will suggest. Try and see if they have it all in one facility and the doctors and therapist are all on the same chart. we moved to different doctors just to have that connectivity. The earlier you get these things going the better his prognosis will become. The earlier years are the most important. Praying that he keeps progressing
