[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 335371, member: 1550"] Hi there. Welcome to our board, but sorry you had to come here While reading your post, a few things got my attention; symptoms of things other than ADHD. I think you should get him a neuropsychologist evaluation. It doesn't sound like ADHD to me or ODD. You can't trust a diagnosis to school. ADHD/ODD is often a first combo diagnosis. It often isn't the right one though. I think he has many red flags for Aspergers syndrome. Did he have any early speech delays or does he have trouble with transitions or social skills? Does he have any extreme obsessions? Quirks? Ever talk to himself in his room? Does he know how to interact correctly with his same age peers? Can he hold a give and take conversation or does he tend to monologue using big words? Any sensitivities, like to loud noise or certain food or clothing? This kid has had a tough life, but it sounds as if some of it is not just environmental. I'd definitely want him tested intensively, which is what NeuroPsychs do. I don't think you can solve anything without knowing the whole picture of what is going on. [/QUOTE]
