Have you considered working memory training as a method for helping your son become more functional?
We've just started him on strattera and seeing some success. The problem isn't so much the autism but how the ADHD manifests. If this makes sense it's like about working memory and more about modeling activities. Because he has issues with muscle tone he lacks a lot of the core abilities many of us take for granted like being able to do something as simple as a thumbs up. Thumbs up took a year.
