[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 273408, member: 3444"] A neuropsychologist will be able to tell you better if mood issues are at the root of his difficulties. I don't know how a psychologist could come to the conclusion that it's ADD when the teacher isn't reporting any of the behaviors at school! One of the hallmarks of ADD/ADHD is that the behavior spans ALL settings. If you can get him evaluated over the summer, then perhaps you can get rolling on a more appropriate treatment plan so that the next school year goes more smoothly. Doesn't mean you'll get everything sorted out in a month or two. We've been on this path with my difficult child 2 for seven years and are just NOW getting close to what looks like appropriate treatment. Part of that is just because you're dealing with a person who is rapidly growing and changing during this time in their life -- so the brain is in a constant state of flux. Add puberty hormones to that, and it can make for a very complicated situation. Good luck! Let us know how things go. [/QUOTE]
