[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 522639, member: 1550"] In the US (and this is where this woman lives) if an angry kid is diagnosed ADHD at first (it is often a first diagnosis.) by the time the child is older, the diagnosis will likely have evolved. This is different countries and cultures looking at intangibles. Malika, here in the US your son may have another diagnosis on top of ADHD and certainly he would have had that label already. We do things differently. We get help at the first sign of trouble (early interventions) and believe this improves the outcome. in my opinion since this woman is in the US, it is best to guide her on how to get the best help in school and the community in the US. An ADHD diagnosis alone will not get you much of anything because it is seen as impassivity and inattentiveness, but not much beyond that. This woman believes her c hild has more than ADHD, and by our standards, her child probably does. Since she will not get serious help for her child with just an ADHD diagnosis, in my opinion it's best for her to explore more completely. I'll bet my Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) son would have only had an ADHD diagnosis. in France. Things are different. As it is, my son has had a rather spectacular bit of help and is really doing well. I don't believe he is just ADHD. This discussion is really getting off track. We are not helping the original poster...jmo!! :) Peace! [/QUOTE]
