[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 72990, member: 23"] Hi whoknows Neurological disorders tend to be genetic so a good place to start looking for answers is the family tree. Is there any ADHD, bipolar, anxiety, depression, etc in the family? How about substance abuse, alcoholism, or other family members with undiagnoised problematic behavior? This type information should be helpful to whoever evaluates your son. I'm unfamiliiar with-UK's system but if you can get your son in to a Children's Hospital, neuropsychologist, or University with-a behavioral unit for evaluation, it'd be a good thing to do. While I said "in to," these type evaluations do not require being admitted -- at least in the US. A helpful tool for presenting information to an evaluator or team of evaluators is a Parent Report. You'll find information on how to prepare one on the FAQ/Board Help forum. It's frustrating dealing with our kids. Glad you found us. [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
