Thank you so much for your help. I will look into the things you mentioned.!
His social problems are typical of persons with his disorder and the best intervention is a social skills/social problem-solving group. His working memory and EF problems are typical of ADHD, so it is not surprising that he achieved some benefit from the psychostimulant. While there are many stimulant products available, when you boil it all down there are really only two choices: methylphenidate and dextroamphetamine. If the medicines he has used are from one of those two 'families' of drugs, it would be worthwhile to choose an option from the other of the two families. If he is not able to use either of the two families of stimulant medications because of the side effects, a trial on Strattera would be prudent. Finally, relative to his WM deficit, you may want to consider Cogmed Working Memory Training, a software-based approach to enhancing working memory capacity. The five-week, at-home, computerized program helps many children and adults to enhance their working memory (and attentional) skills (see www.cogmed.com).
