[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 576537, member: 11791"] This is the 12 yr old? And the only diagnosis is ADHD? Just my experience but... there may be a WHOLE lot more going on with this kid than you know - or than he knows. As in... perhaps multiple missing dxes. ADHD does stand alone, but more often, it has companions... - learning disabilities - auditory processing disorders - at this age, more likely to be subtle, like auditory figure ground - supposedly minor motor skills issues, but when put to the test, they can't keep up - either in PE, or in tasks that require listening-and-writing or thinking-and-writing. There's more - that's just off the top of my head. My difficult child... didn't really hit the wall until about grade 6 or so... at which point, he dropped straight off the edge of the cliff, and we're still scrambling to make up for what we lost. But... the "missing dxes" have been found (see above list...) and the accommodations, interventions and medications HAVE made a difference. INCLUDING a major impact on his need to tell lies. Not gone... part of it is habit, but we're winning. [/QUOTE]
