[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 542453, member: 11791"] To build on TeDo's post... When discussing ADHD as a possible diagnosis for J, there are at least five possibilities, really: 1) it isn't... he's just more active than most, and will grow into socially acceptable norms (it DOES happen, just not that often) 2) it is "just" ADHD - in which case, IF medications work, they can make a huge diff. (medications work more often than not, but not necessarily the first one you try) 3) it is ADHD plus... because there are a number of other things that tend to be co-morbid with ADHD. From the sounds of it, motor skills issues are NOT going to be on J's list. The other stuff? only time will tell. medications still help with the ADHD part... interventions and accommodations help with the other stuff. 4) It is other stuff without the ADHD - yes, it could be dyslexia, for example, without the ADHD (not the most likely given J's profile...) 5) It is something else entirely... (how many of us have been there done that?) (twenty years from now, you MIGHT actually know what was going on and what the right answers were...) [/QUOTE]
