add or adhd

add or adhd stands for Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Many autistic children are labeled as having ADHD due to their not being able to sit or focus for even short periods of time. There are natural as well as prescription medications available that assist with hyperactivity and focus. The prescription drugs that several of the children I know have tried, as well as my own son, turned them into little zombies with no energy. Behavioral therapy and sensory integration therapy also assists with these disorders.
