[QUOTE="blb, post: 60435, member: 32"] Kathrine, My oldest daughter has been diagnosed with adhd (inattentive type) with Aspie traits and I can tell you that putting her on medications was the absolute best thing that could have happened to her. We did all the behavioral mod at home, but until she got the medications, the follow through was marginal at best. Staying on task was her biggest issue, IF it was a subject she wasn't interested in...if she loved it she could have stuck with it all day (and night!) Fact is, without the medications, she couldn't have organized her way out of a paper bag, and she was the brightest in her class. My favorite story was in Kindergarten, during story time she used to literally roll around on the carpet while all the other kids sat there quietly. The teacher would occasionally ask questions, and there would be my "spinner" and the teacher would ask her a question which she would answer promptly, all the while never missing a beat from her rolling. Now part of that we believe is from the Aspie traits, in that she is always stimming to an extent, but the before and after medications taking as it related to her schoolwork and homework was HUGE. I have some links on adhd that are fairly good if you want to pass some along to husband here (1), here (2) and here Of course, as other posters have said, it may not be adhd but something else, but having him evaluated is a great first step. And remember, YOU are the professional when it comes to your child, don't let anyone make you feel otherwise...if they do, find someone else! [/QUOTE]
