[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 535694, member: 7170"] I got here a little late been a hectic couple days. It sounds like the school part of it is doing great that is half the battle, what made it so hard with me is was at war with 2 different schools and managing a severely ill sibling while trying to find answers for my youngest. School not causing problems while you get some medical answers will be helpful as not to create distractions. The least painless way to go about the medical diagnosis is to get a full neuropsychologist evaluation or developmental pediatrician evaluation, - the treat symptoms and label a diagnosis to justify that medication method caused Angel's issues to become much more severe then they ever needed to be. I have 2 full siblings with same diagnosis but its like R has bipolar and Angel has [U][B]BIPOLAR[/B][/U]!!! as with many illness they come in different levels of severity. Not saying your child has this illness but to demonstrate the difference in severity of diagnosis's You mentioned started Ritalin and it is working good for him, that's great that medication helped my son a lot, my girls however not the right medication for them. You are going to want to jot some notes on the calendar regarding what time he's going to bed, general mood & energy level in the evenings, any nitemares should also be noted if he starts having niteterrors that are waking the house up with his screams might want to discontinue the Ritalin until get more answers. Sounds like you are doing what you can and questioning things when you feel should which is great, wish I had asked more ?s. No school diagnosis holds any weight in the medical community so just as long as they are giving the services he needs "if it ain't broke don't fix it" :hi5: [/QUOTE]
