My research has only been limited to adults but I know ritalin and other dexamphetamines work well with many people with ad/hd. The brain works differently and it needs help to slow down to process information. Otherwise it gets overloaded and causes stress.

Drugs on their own aren't enough. I suggest talking to the ladies on the spectrum thread about behavioural therapies. They'll have more info than me. There should also be help so families learn how to adapt for affected kids. I know there's various funding available but don't know who it's for or how you access it.
