[QUOTE="Tau, post: 41847, member: 3680"] Google "ADHD inattentive type" and you'll find all the criteria you're looking for! A lot of clinicians are categorizing ADD that way now. In our case, its our daughter who has ADHD combined type - all the glory of poor impulse control, difficulty modulating emotions, executive function problems, AND inattention! I honestly think we would have missed the trouble with my son, if we hadn't been struggling so much to get to the root of our daughter's problems! He is a well intentioned, quiet but social, sensitive and hard working kid. Still, when he gets overwhelmed, he just "shuts off" - he can be doing his kitchen chores, and just STAND there for close to 40 minutes, avoiding everything that needs to be done. Instead of [i]exploding[/i], like our daughter, he [i]implodes[/i]. Unfortunately, because we haven't caught it sooner, I'm afraid that he's starting to experience some depression and anxiety as a result - which just kills me. Anyway, loads of good reading out there with those keywords. [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
