How Can ADHD In A Child Be Treated?

the Dr. and Theriapist keep saying my granddaughter has ADHD, the meds they give her do nothing so they switch to Benadryl. total meltdown for her & mom. she has Aspbergers so what or how do you get them to look at this when all they repeat is she is not Autistic, which we agree with but are looking at the other spectrum
