[QUOTE="buddy, post: 471147, member: 12886"] Hi, just adding my welcome and ditto-ing what the others are saying. I would add to make sure that you are not having him go into any evaluation to rule out or rule in any SPECIFIC thing. Make sure you just discuss the behaviors that are challenging, when where etc. discuss all the places he does well. The evaluator should be someone who will look for any possiblity that might be part of the big picture. Whether ADHD, a mood issue, a developmental issue, Processing Disorders, Sensory Integration issues, whatever. It can be a huge worry wondering about IF there is a problem, how can they possibly have a fulfilling life? As people have said, having ADHD or even some kids who have other conditions can be gifted and talented. They may have to go at things differently. I had a student once who was diagnosis as anxiety/adhd and as he got older (4th grade) he was diagnosis with Aspergers. Once he had the supports he needed, no more being sent to principal's office or kicked out of gym etc. He is now and has been since 6th grade (he is in 10th ) in the gifted and talented program. Better to know what is going on and then to clear a path as best you can to help him reach his potential! hang in with us here for support and ideas...I am sure you will find yourself that you and your wife have a lot to give others here too.
