[QUOTE="soapbox, post: 521691, member: 13003"] Hi, and welcome - Looks like you'll get a chorus of "yep, more than ADHD"... and I'm on the same page! Has he ever had an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation for sensory and motor skills issues? These can be huge, and while medications do not help, Occupational Therapist (OT) therapies DO help, and there are accommodations etc. as well. Has he ever had a full Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) evaluation for auditory processing issues? I know, his hearing is fine, and his language is probably OK too... but there are other issues that can be investigated like auditory figure ground - where the person has trouble filtering out background noise. APDs look a LOT like ADHD. AND... you can have both. Whether or not you pursue a comprehensive evaluation, these two sets of testing are of use stand-alone - AND are of use to any person doing a comprehensive evaluation. [/QUOTE]
