[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 530201, member: 1550"] Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) and VPD did not look like ADHD with my daughter so I'd say kids are different and her son may not have either. It seems her son tests in the normal range for school and may have a slight behavioral or impulse control problem. He is not as extreme as many of our kids, even at home. I really have no idea what is wrong with him. Maybe his birthmother or birthfather were energetic and it is hereditary. Now if it gets worse, rather than better, she can look into behavioral issues or even mental illness, but he really seems like he is usually manageable. Malika herself said very truthfully that what our kids have we often see in other children. I know this is true of me. I have respect for Malika and it seems that J's problems are mostly at home. There ARE kids who are mildly different, but can do ok in life and even improve. He seems to me to be mostly a normal kid with a lot of energy. Since I'm working with mostly four year olds at work (4K) I can tell ya almost all the boys are off-the-charts in the energy department. All of us, not just me, need to try not to project our own experiences onto other kids. I was very happy Malika brought it up because it is something I think a lot of us are guilty of doing. I certainly plead guilty. The fact is, there are as lot of "somewhere different kids" who really never get diagnosed and still go on to have good lives. Malika, thank you for the reminder not to see what our child has in every child. I also sure wish I could help you more. I am just wondering if J. is one of those energetic kids (genetically). You should only see how our 4K boys act!!! You would maybe not feel he is so different! [/QUOTE]
