[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 522532, member: 6546"] And just to get back on topic... My son was diagnosed with ADHD. Yes - he has a few sensory issues and fine motor issues - BUT his largest difficulty was inattention. He did NOT have rages. He was NOT violent. He did NOT display aggression in the classroom. Impulsivity? Heck yes! But aggression? Never! ADHD and rages do NOT go hand in hand. Rages are NOT part of the diagnosis of ADHD. My son went through a serious of tests by a child psychologist of the course of several sessions and multiple hours. The testing was able to document a high IQ, but difficulty in skills that required a lot of attention. (That and the fact that the kid was barely able to complete the tests themselves was THE indicator of the ADHD.) A diagnosis of ADHD does NOT automatically equal medication. We have been able to help my son with a few interventions in school. He has never been on Ritalin or any other drug to treat the ADHD. Over time, we are seeing him learn to implement strategies for managing his issues on his own. So yes - your child may very well have ADHD plus something else - or it may not be ADHD at all... Best of luck! [/QUOTE]
