my son has recently been diagnosed with adhd and asbergers, his school have said he has learning difficulties due to his poor concentration but they said he is just naughty also they said he isnt bothered about other peoples feelings so who is right? He has been under investigation for two and a half years.

All those symptoms you are discribing are adhd symptoms. There are many places on the internet discribing the symptoms.
There is also medication to relieve these symptoms. I know this can be very,very, scary. But I have found after fighting the fact...that medication is the only way.
Here are some helth problems that can have adhd symptoms.
ear problems, food sensitivies-dont mix that up with alergies.-I made the mistake of doing that and nothing showed up with the allergy testing. very different. then again allergies cant be the problem alot of time the ear issues go hand and hand with the allergies.
One quick way to tell if the problem is nerological is by perscribing meds. Such as ritalin or any other stimulant drug.
Because the problems will more then likely improve,hyper activity.staying on task and getting along with peres and family members. Remember though sometimes finding the roight med takes time.
you need to get on it right away the longer you wait the more you child will suffer with peres and school work. and the more stress the family will be in as well. If you have any other questions please ask I'll do all I can to help I have been at this for a good 16 years both my boys have attention issues.

thank you l;ayne this is the first time i have been on anything like this and it really is helpful to hear someone else whos going through this as somedays i dread collecting him from school because what they are going to say to me next the doctors have said they will speak to the school ,as he is only just five some people just think he is naughty or spoiilt i have niticed things wernt right since birth and i have never had any problems like this with my other children he has also got ocd and petit mals some situations he can fit into a situation ok but then he just blows up for no reason he can be aggresive and taking him to parties or out in punlic can be a nightmare as his behaviour can be really bad, His social skills are also very worrying as he will talk to anybody kiss cuddle strangers and his sleeping somenights is more aless nonexistant he still does his number twos in nappies... I know alot of these symtoms are for asbergers??? or so the doctors has said i find the adhd symptons more of a problem he has no sense of danger no stranger danger and he is very impulsive and sometimes it just feels like its not going to end.

Trust me I know....I only been on this site a couple months. You'll find some real helpful ladies on here. I have grown to really depend on it.
gail- try diet restriction, I find it helps with the anger explosive behavior. stay away form red dye, Hot dogs, curtain luch meat. I buy shaved turkey or chicken. because they have the red dye. and add omega vitamins with a multi vit. It takes about a month but really helps my daughter. we got lazy and are back on them.
oh and cut the refined sugar and processed food. I know it sounds difficult to do all that but start slow. Even if you do choose medication the diet will help him. some kids cant have wheat bu i havent eliminated that.

thank you layne i will give it a go ihave been giving him fish oils already and i will try cutting things out of his diet. the doctor did mention medication the last time we went and i think its something we are going to have to consider sooner rather than later
