My son was very hyper at the age too after he started school at age 5 we took him to his doctor and found out he had ADHD his doctor put him on Vyvanse and he have been on other meds , but they didn't work. Than later on we found out he had Asperger. There was time my son would get and just leave out of his class .Now my son is 15 year old and he better now.

Tough question that I asked the psychologist myself. The tough part is that she told me difficulty with attention is part of autism.
