It reads as if they're treating anxiety, which is admirable of course. I’m a little confused. It reads as if they’re treating anxiety, which is admirable of course.

He has been diagnosed with ADHD since he was 4 years old. I know in my heart that is not what he has. Especially since I have it. My life changed once I got on Medication. His life is getting worse. He is a 4th grader he will be 12 years of age in June and he is on a Kindergarden reading level. Kids his age will not play with him they make fun of him and they feel he acts like a little kid all the time. Please let me know who to take him to? And how to help him before it gets to late.

Well then, do you think it is normal and acceptable to be repeatedly bashing yourself on the head, trying to poke your eye out and tearing your hair out, to name a few? As an autistic, have you stopped to think that without the help of non-autistics that you simply wouldn't be able to survive? It is us who cooks your meals, stops you from running out in front of cars, pays for everything you need because you are unable to hold a job, stops you from inflicting serious harm to yourself. Do you think it is fair that you continue to live in your own little world, self absorbed in your own activity, totally excluding others around you and blocking out all emotion towards them? As a father of an autistic child, I look forward to the day when a cure or treatment enables him to get a job, marry someone and have children of their own.
