[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 247352, member: 23"] It is very, very rare for an ADHDer not to have at least one co-existing condition. Psychologists know this; why they don't tell parents is beyond me. I'm still ticked at difficult child's 1st psychologist about this. He diagnosed ADHD, prescribed Adderall and told us if difficult child continued to have behavior problems to come back, "we can turn him around in six months." He was full of bull. difficult child was 6 yrs old at the time. I favor multidisciplinary evaluations. There's a thread on the FAQ board regarding MDEs. I believe the General Archives has a thread on neuropsychological evaluations. Not one professional told me about multimodal treatment plans either. [url]http://www.greatschools.net/pdfs/2200_7-barktran.pdf?date=4-12-05[/url] is a transcribed lecture from Barkley on ADHD. It has some very good information and also addresses co-existing conditions in ADHDers. I learned a long time ago that I couldn't reason with-difficult child when he was 5 yrs old. You'd think after all these years, I stop trying to reason with-him as a 15 yr old. lol But I keep hoping that the planted seeds will take root and grow at some point in time. Common sense is not consistently my difficult child's strong suit. Welcome aboard! [/QUOTE]
