Supporting individuals with ADHD and Asperger Syndrome

Individuals with ADHD and Asperger Syndrome require adequate information, support, and scaffolding to navigate new situations. Intensive psychotherapy may not be beneficial, but teaching about social interactions and using teachable moments is crucial. Fine-tuned medication is important for managing ADHD symptoms, as it is primarily a chemical issue. Medication effectiveness varies based on individual sensitivity, not age, weight, or symptom severity.
