Yeah, I'm not that much older than him so not too much insight, but they just threw him on pills and didn't actually do therapy. He'd go in like once every 6 months.

That’s too bad. I’m sorry to hear that. It sounds like not much has changed for the ADHD treatment unless you really push and work hard to get services for yourself or your kid. They do similar therapies for children with ADHD as children with ASD but you have to really push for it, pay out of pocket and be prepared to fight your insurance( here in USA and in my experience with Kaiser not saying all have to do this). Also including all this because both disorders are highly genetic and you never know when you need more info on treatments.
