My son has the same problem......1 place is good enough for him.
It takes away from his "time" to go to many places. This causes a problem on weekends since I work full time and I need to get
errands done. My husband (his dad) will try to stay home with him but this doesn't always work out. |

Thanks for all the info......I will bring a Dr's note to prove my son does have AS in case they try to give me problems....I am paying the final payment to Disney this week and I will ask them also if I
can do this ahead of time. |

| Have you tried Focalin? This is what works for my 10yr old son. Concerta & Adderall did not help him. |

my son is almost 10 years old and Concerta didn't work for him. Behavior wise, it did help - but it made him "sad". We switched
to Focalin XR (15mg) and this is what works for him. Do you find the tantrums are happening more since taking Concerta - it could be a side effect. |
