[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 426959, member: 1550"] Hi again. I had trouble figuring out how to navigate the site too at first. I think you hit "profile" to do the signature. Did your son ever have any speech delays or problems? Does he socialize well with him same age peers? Does he have any obsessions or quirks or both? Is he sensitive to any foods or fabrics or scents or loud noise? His combination of diagnoses may actually be just one disorder. I would also suggest going to a neuropsychologist. You can find them in childrens and university hospitals as well as in certain clinics. They do every kind of testing you could imagine and tend to flush out stuff that other tests miss. Their diagnoses in my opinion are the most accurate and focused so that your child can get more help. in my opinion (and of course I'm no doctor) it sounds like more is going on than ADHD...and that's really all he's being treated for right now. It may not be ADHD at all. It could be a mimicker. There are many. I'm sure you know this, but most clinicians do not believe in Dr. Amen's work. I don't either so if you are a big fan of his just disregard my post...lol. I think you'd be better off with a neuropsychologist than an expensive brain scan that most doctors disregard as inaccurate. At the very least, it can't hurt to get a more mainstreamed opinion. Better to be safe than sorry. [/QUOTE]
