Anyone ever have a diagnosis of ADHD to find out later it is really sensory processing disorder (SPD)?

[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 386889, member: 1991"] I know stimulants are supposed to make anxiety worse, but for difficult child 3 they calm him down. I think this is because one reason for difficult child 3's agitation and anxiety, is difficulty in staying on task. The stimulants make it easier for him to stay on task and ignore sensory distractions. So sometimes the answer is more complex. Never forget that medicine is an inexact science, but your child is your child and a wonderful, unique individual. He fits in somewhere to something, but the labels can sometimes get confusing. Make a list of all the issues, maybe consider a parent report or some other way of collecting it all together, then see what that assortment leads to. I find the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) questionnaire on [url]www.childbrain.com[/url] to be another useful tool in this. Marg [/QUOTE]
