[QUOTE="Malika, post: 430063, member: 11227"] Just another thought that occurred about diagnosis... Someone on the forum said it takes an average of seven years to get a full diagnosis and this makes sense to me. I feel that the ADHD diagnosis for J is correct (he is much more on the hyperactive side than the deficit attention side) and that he probably has sensory integration problems though I understand little about this at present. I am confident that he is not on the autistic spectrum. However... in terms of learning difficulties, all sorts of things could be revealed in time! He is a bright child but has difficulties recognising numbers, letters and colours - these point to dyslexia and who knows what else. And then the school psychologist says he is normal for his age and that all children develop at different rates. So for some things it is clearly a waiting game. [/QUOTE]
