[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 582239, member: 11791"] ADHD is a common mis-diagnosis, may be a cover for other things - and the other dxes would provide more interventions, accommodations, etc. OR... ADHD may be accurate, but not a complete diagnosis. ADHD "can" stand alone (I have a kid like that) More often, there will be some mix of other things like: 1) LDs - given her math and language issues, worth testing for 2) Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) - 50% of kids with ADHD have Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) - developmental coordination disorder, may affect fine motor, gross motor, or both 3) 70% of kids with ADHD and a Learning Disability (LD) also have an Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) - and there are at least five different APDs. 4) because so much of this gets missed, and because even "simple" ADHD is often brushed off and not given appropriate accommodations and interventions, the kids often end up with secondary mood disorders like anxiety and/or depression. I think it may be time to drop the gloves and push for REALLY comprehensive testing for easy child. [/QUOTE]
