[QUOTE="Malika, post: 462016, member: 11227"] Thanks MWM. Certainly feel some empathy with your sense of perplexity/frustration with the Realm of the Diagnosis :) I know I keep on about this but I do feel confused about J, about what is going on with him. All the more so after tonight. I have never known him be like this. I picked him from school, where he was standing talking to his particular friend rather than rushing about as he always does; the assistant told me he had been really helpful that day. And all evening he was just... well, just the most easy child of pcs. He asked of course to play with the children in the village. When I said no because there wasn't time, there was school tomorrow, instead of the usual fight and protest and tears - which would normally happen even if he is not being particularly difficult - he just said "okay, Mummy!" And that was it! It was like that all evening. Helpful, mature, totally co-operative, charming. The vision of "how things could be". What on earth was going on? The only thing I could think was that he has been taking magnesium for some time, which is reported by some to be this "wonder mineral" for hyperactive kids and I've read it takes some time to kick in... Could it be?? This behaviour shows that he can be like that, that he has the potential to be like that... It gives real food for thought. I don't need to "diagnose" him - it can't be done at this stage anyway - but I do feel so puzzled sometimes by this child and more than ever, as I say, tonight. I have [B]never[/B] known him not to protest in any way if I said no to him... Go figure. [/QUOTE]
