Advice/experience with ADHD medication for child with dual diagnosis of ASD/ADHD

Does anybody have experience of using ADHD medication for a child with a dual diagnosis of AS and ADHD? (parent, family member, somebody who works with children with additional needs).

If so can you tell me what experience you have? What changes good, bad or otherwise did you see in the child? Side effects and so on.

Or if you have taken the medication yourself, how did you get on with it?

I have friends who have children with ADHD on it's own and have heard a fair bit about their experiences, but I am interested in the dual diagnosis and how it is affected by medication.

Thanks

Just got ds age8 dose of Ritalin up to 30mg a day. So hopefully the extra 10mg a day will work better.
