He added that toys, coloring books and medication had been passed into the bunker for the boy, who has Asperger’s syndrome and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. - He did not say if it was known whether the boy had been taking the medicine. - “It’s one thing when you’ve got your mother and grandmother giving it to you every day,” said Steve Clouse, a state representative whose district includes Midland City. - Perhaps suggesting that Mr. Dykes was following events from his bunker, Sheriff Olson concluded the short news conference by offering gratitude to Mr. Dykes for allowing officials to pass on such necessities.
