Though my son is also ASD so it seemed to make things work a lot differently for him in lots of cases than straight ADD.
We had our son on Intuniv and Vyvanse for awhile this summer, and holy crap emotional mood swings and absolute emotional breakdowns. We ended up going back to Straterra and Concerta, even though that can be a handful also when the Concerta wears off at supper. The Intuniv just turned him into a blubbering emotional wreck - it wasn't worth it.
