[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 83196, member: 1550"] I suggest you have a fresh evaluation, and see a neuropsychologist. They do intensive testing that other professionals don't do and you may be looking at a misdiagnoses. If he is getting worse, well, ADHD doesn't get worse. Co-morbids can and do. I have a few questions: 1/Who diagnosed him? Which sort of doctor? 2/Are there any psychiatric or neurological problems on either side of the family tree? Any substance abuse? "Funny" relatives? 3/How was his early development? Did he have any speech or motor delays? 4/Is he socially appropriate or is he an "odd duck" who does quirky things. 5/Does he make odd noises or flick his fingers, etc. 6/How is his academic performance and does he have an IEP in school? Others will come along. It is impossible for us to diagnose. ADHD symptoms and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) symptoms often go along with other disorders and a neuropsychologist in my opinion is the best professional to figure out the big picture.
