Lethargy in child with Aspergers
by Andiv64, Oct 10, 2009 12:54PM
My son is 13 years old and very lethargic and "low arousal". He's been diagnosed with Aspergers, ADHD, and developmental coordination disorder. We've had his blood work checked since his diagnosis at the age of seven. His doctors assure us that his bloodwork comes back within normal ranges. He usually has rings beneath his eyes and his eyes are often half closed (except, of course, when something interests him, and then he's very energetic). I just know that something is not right. Whether he needs to change his diet, add supplements, or something else, I know that there must be some way to "wake him up".
