[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 449214, member: 11791"] Welcome. I think we're all addicted to Ditto today, but... I'll have to say the same thing! You're on the right track getting help. Remember that not all help involved medications... First step is always the diagnosis... and the tough part is: 1) to get the right diagnosis 2) to get ALL of the right dxes For many of our kids... its multiple dxes, sometimes with conflicting treatment plans... But you have to know what you're dealing with... have to find the "source" of the problem... to have any hope of making progress. Lets see. you can add: Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) (central auditory processing disorder), sometimes just called Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) In our experience, take a bright kid with ADD/ADHD ([U]not[/U] uncommon), and add something else... anxiety, depression, sensory issues, Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD), etc. - and you've got problems! Also note... some problems are primary, and some are secondary. That is, a primary problem is at the root... the cause of other problems. A secondary problem is something that develops because a primary problem has not been dealt with. In medical terms... usually an open wound is a primary problem; if it gets infected, that's secondary; BUT it could be the other way around... an infection inside, that works its way to the surface and becomes an open sore. So, in addition to knowing what the dxes are... which are primary? It might take time to figure it out. Again, welcome! [/QUOTE]
