Healthy diet: Kids with autism (restricted diet) and kids with adhd (reason unknown) are at risk for vitamin/mineral deficiencies. So a multivitamin a day makes sense. There is evidence for modest benefits from fish oil in both autism and adhd. Good luck with trying to get a kid to take fish oil! :-) regular physical activity. Time in nature helps adhd symptoms. Good sleep. Limiting environmental stimulation.

Regular stuff: If you mean regimen that doesnt involve medication, then try these. Strict routine. Healthy nutrition sleep & exercise. Appropriate school placement. Structure is so very important for add, autistic and, yes, even regular kids. Hold your child accountable for her actions. Be consistent. Herbals, potions and such are useless for these patients.
