[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 237767, member: 1550"] I'm glad you are seeing a psychiatrist. in my opinion hallucinations mean there's more going on than ADHD. ADHD is usually the first, rarely the last, diagnosis. for our kids. There are possible signs of a mood disorder and/or autistic spectrum/Aspergers as well as ADHD. Five year olds are all different. I say this as a mom who has raised five kids way past five ;) Many five year olds can communicate quite well. It's best to evaluate your boy and see what's going on, and keep an open mind about it--don't get locked into thinking "it has to be ADHD." Have him evaluated for everything. Do not, in my opinion, insist that he has ADHD. In my layman's opinion, I think you should let the professional determine what to test for. Trust me, I've been through many tests and diagnoses for both me and my son.There is much it could be. ADHD/autistic spectrum disorder/early onset bipolar all mimic each other, but need different treatment plans and definitely different medications. And with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) you need interventions. My Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) son is also very loud. It is not exclusive to ADHD. They can't STAND noise, but they MAKE noise...lol. Good luck at your appointment. [/QUOTE]
