[QUOTE="Malika, post: 411255, member: 11227"] Hmmm.... this is interesting. The most specific guidelines to diagnosing ADHD that I've come across - can I ask how you know about this edconparent and what sources or studies have substantiated it? Part of the reason for my own scepticism about the ADHD diagnosis is that it seems, essentially, vague and unscientific. The questionnaires do not seem particularly helpful - eg my son scores hardly any on the "inattention" side of things but many on the "hyperactivity" side so that would technically seem to rule him out for ADHD. But... there is clearly something going on with his constant, constant physical motion and with his strange inability to identify colours no matter how much "teaching" about it he receives... (he is not colour blind). So I am very interested to hear that there could be some more objective test. For your son, whiteraven, I am clearly stabbing in the dark... you live with him, you know whether there is something really "wrong" or not... And, of course, getting a diagnosis is a way of getting help. If the diagnosis is reliable... [/QUOTE]
