Guest guest Posted August 12, 2008 Report Posted August 12, 2008 Hi I took my son to a child psychiatrist because he developed obsessional compulsive disorder. The pyschiatrist decided to affirm or rule out an earlier diagnosis of ADHD. As I answered questions regarding my son I silently kept answering the questions for myself. My son had his ADHD ruled out. I had mine 100% affirmed,lol. I got the giggles and had a hard time containing myself. I still laugh about it. I did learn that my son developed OCD as a secondary or co- morbid part of his Aspergers syndrome. The medication he takes treats the OCD. When the OCD is better the Autistism is more pronounced. He was originally diagnosed PDD,ADHD. I had no idea OCD was so connected to aspergers syndrome or autism. Anyone else have children who developed OCD? Quote
