ADHD and autism

Grand son has been diagnosed as ADHD with autism, Asperger syndrome, anger control management and sycotic tendency. I am trying to home school this child. The school system only want to shove him in a room and leave him there.  How can I help him

I have a stepson that has been diagnosed with ADHD. Being an educator of special needs children, the main thing I can advise is LOVE. You cannot tell your grandchild enough how much you love him. Next, keep them busy. Sports is an excellent way and a positive way too keep a child busy. Thirdly, instill the love of reading.

Good Morning (:  Been there done that. I do home school My soon David (DS, ADHD,  NF1, PDD, puberty) When the school wanted him on meds, in 2003 I brought him home. Had doctors tell me he really didn't need meds. I won't say it has been easy, but a lot of the behavior or should I say miss behavior has stoped. I have been able to learn about his disabilities and understand his behavior. I work one on one, and teach those who work with him outside our home. It can work with a lot of LOVE. MONIKA
