Well, I have a son with DS, and a son with ADHD, but neither has both. Sorry I can't be of more help, but I believe there are parents on here who have children with both dx. I just wanted to say welcome, and tell us more about yourself!

First off welcome jlo, I'm Jackie, mom to 6 yr old Justin. Justin was just diagnosed last Sept. I think it was with ADHD, he also has DS. He takes Dexedrine in the morning and it has made a huge difference for the better he also takes Melatonin and Tenex about 1/2 hour before bedtime, the boy refused to fall asleep or stay asleep for longer than about 3-4 hours a night.
