[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 132043, member: 1550"] HI and welcome to the board :) I'm also concerned that you are going to an ADHD Doctor because he could have many things, not simply ADHD, and a doctor who specializes only in ADHD is likely to give him that diagnosis. even if that's not the main or only problem. in my opinion, I recommend a neuropsychologist. They do intensive testing for all disorders (ADHD/autistic spectrum/childhood bipolar/Learning Disability (LD) problems/sensory integration disorder/anxiety/etc). Your son has many symptoms that could be many things. My son got 100%; on the Connors, but he has more than ADHD. He is on the autism spectrum. It took a NeuroPysch to diagnose it. If your son gets the ADHD diagnosis. and doesn't really have it (and it happens) stimulants could make him far worse. Same with Straterra. Others will come along. [/QUOTE]
