[QUOTE="toffee, post: 162498, member: 5382"] My son was diagnosed by a private consultant paediatrician who specialises in childhood behavioural disorders. The NHS CAMHS service weren't interested in him because they said that, because his behaviour had improved at school then he didn't have ADHD. I've struggled for years with him so I went private The paed gave him a thorough assessment and said that he's coping well at school due to: his high IQ, the quality of teaching, the level of work, they have lots of fun and stimulation there, his friendships. She said that he's taking stuff out on us at home because he's tired after concentrating hard all day at school. When he comes home he's just 'letting it all hang out' which is what most kids do, but because of his ADHD it's worse. She said that he was also Oppositional. She recommended 123 Magic and Understanding ADHD books. She doesn't want to medicate him because he's coping well at school at the moment - he's not falling behind at all and his learning isn't badly affected - apart from his music lessons a bit. She recommended joining an ADHD support group, but when I contacted them they didn't get back to me. I just feel so lonely and despondant. If only the arguments would stop I could cope. I can cope with the ADHD behaviour, but the oppositional stuff is just crazy. If I sat him in front of a brick wall he'd argue with it! My husband is also going crazy! [/QUOTE]
