Thanks, DeeDee. I am hopeful that a diagnosis might not lead to us changing schools, but the teacher seems to be losing patience so we are concerned given our reluctance to medicate at this point.

I've been wondering about the medications you found for your DS. The local psychologist told us there were not medications for ASD-type behaviors, but you said your son benefits from Strattera for helping with his attention issues, even though it sounds like he doesn't have a formal ADHD diagnosis--is that correct? How did you find your expert prescriber? (feel free to PM me if you would be more comfortable)
