[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 18736, member: 1550"] I guess all those years of interventions paid off!!! His reading skills, including comprehension, are at grade level as are his math skills. This was a kid they told us had an IQ of 75 and would always be behind. I think all those medications created cognitive dulling in him. Some kids NEED medications--I'm not knocking them at all--but he didn't and, once off of them, he took off in every way. His Special Education teacher was beaming when she told me the results. We have an IEP coming up with plans for more mainstreaming. I can't believe this is the same kid who had been on thirteen different medications and was misdiagnosed with ADHD and bipolar. The teacher also told me he's friendly at school (a first) and that he talks almost too much. Yeah, he still has Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)--it never goes away--but it can sure improve. Just checking in to give others hope. Also, be certain that your ADHD or bipolar kid doesn't really have Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). See a neuropsychologist.
