[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 80028, member: 1550"] Relax. Your son probably has a very poor short term memory. However, if he is very engaged in something, he WILL remember. I was a child just like this. Plus I had Executive Function problems which can go along with disorders such as ADHD (in fact some prof. down the long road told me that EFD is just what ADHD is. I can remember books I read almost by rote, but can't remember why I walked into a room and end up leaving the room only to remember when I sit down. In school I had no idea how to organize my locker and was always in for recess to clean my desk and locker. Organization was torture for me. School was too as I couldn't concentrate or understand the teacher or do the work, yet I was not mentally slow. Has this child seen a neuropsychologist? I highly advise it if not. I saw one and so did my son, and it made all the difference for both of us. I got Disability, and he got services in school that he wasn't getting with the wrong diagnosis. of ADHD/ODD and bipolar disorder. NeuroPsychs are good at nabbing the problem areas a child has. If you've already seen one, but still aren't satisfied, you may have seen a lemon. We had to see two before we found a good one.
