[QUOTE="Malika, post: 476013, member: 11227"] Yes, actually it would (in all seriousness) probably be very good for Onyx to see this doctor - I'm sure he speaks English. Sometimes a completely unusual, unexpected input can be the creative and successful one. But I realise of course it's not on the cards :) Actually, I think the point the doctor was making really, IC, is that nowadays J [B]would[/B] be labelled ADHD, because there is nowhere else to label him (as far as we know) but this is because the label itself is inaccurate. There used to be a diagnosis of, simply, hyperactive before it was put in with the attention deficit disorder... It does all seem to come back to "what's in a label"? As you say, the point is to get help with the things that cause problems in his life - and the lives of those who deal with him. Interesting that you thought he was good, Step. Yes, he [B]did[/B] listen attentively and although his comments were rather left field, why not? Actually he seemed really stern and severe with J and I thought "my goodness, he really is a hard nut" but right at the end, when the session was "over", he was absolutely beaming at J and looking at him with a real twinkle in his eye... So it was a kind of therapeutic performance, I suppose. [/QUOTE]
