[QUOTE="keista, post: 461464, member: 11965"] Oy vey is right. I'm glad you're seeing a neuropsychologist tomorrow. I've always gotten the feeling that there's more than ADHD going on with J, but couldn't identify anything other than that through your posts. These posts however do bring in a new dimension. This behavior with the friends sounds *almost* like son would act when friends came over. He wouldn't get into such intense behaviors as throwing things, but he would be so excited, and so beside himself that he did everything and anything EXCEPT play with his friends. It would take a lot of redirection on my part to get him to play. Once he did, it went pretty well. Your choice of words struck me as well. Superficially, mania and hyperactivity look similar, but only superficially. Of course this is my opinion and perspective from watching my own DD1. Describing her on this forum, everyone was asking if she's ADHD. Her own psychiatrist pulled out an ADHD questionnaire after the last appointment because DD1 just wouldn't settle down. psychiatrist had never seen that behavior, and I've never complained of it. I am seeing it more and more as mania. ADHD has been ruled out with various tests and assessments. You're learning right alongside J. I'm learning right along side mine. (really wish there were instruction manuals for all of them) [/QUOTE]
