[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 275005, member: 1550"] I think he sounds like a really neat kid. And I'd take him to a neuropsychologist. In my layman's opinion (I have a similar child) he could have Aspergers and "just testing for ADHD" won't cut it. NeuroPsychs test for everything over a period of 6-10 hours. If he's an Aspie, he will need interventions and medications alone won't do the trick. His taking stuff apart is very Aspie as is his advanced vocabulary and his obsession with an inappropriate word. I'm not diagnostician, but I'd definitely have a neuropsychologist see him. These kids aren't "bad." And on some days they seem almost normal. They are sweethearts too! But they are very quirky and have to learn how to fit intos society. They do not pick it up like other kids do, just by being around other people. They need to be taught. Remember, all Aspies are different just like all people are different. Good luck, whatever you decide to do. [/QUOTE]
