[QUOTE="firehorsewoman, post: 540501"] He had his first neuropsychologist exam at 3 yrs of age and his second at 6 yrs of age. Both performed by the same group of doctors. The first one resulted in a primary diagnosis of ODD with some underlying ADHD. The second one resulted in primary ADHD with possible ODD. ODD seemed to fit him best. I have also thought bipolar. Although he does have a ton of energy and at times is very hyperactive, ADHD has never seemed to fit in my opinion. He has always excelled academically, has always been very verbal. I know that there is a ton of co-morbidity and overlap with these disorders not to mention a changing definition of how the disorders are classified. It is so frustrating! Most worrisome of all is playing around with medications with these young minds and bodies. [/QUOTE]
