[QUOTE="Malika, post: 560404, member: 11227"] Lol, yes, we are just beginning the vacation from the vacation :) With the friend who was staying, she is an old and close friend and we did of course discuss the J situation a lot - I kept seeing how my getting angry with his behaviour made him much worse, she felt it was partly a relationship thing as much as his "diagnosis" though obviously the hyperactivity was largely in evidence. Other times, he was very sweet as I say but had to be channelled ALL the time - ie when not playing cards, etc (I also taught him the rudiments of chess as there was a set there and he really got into that) he was hyper hyper... The transitions must of course have played their part. My American friends were charm itself, showing no negative reaction whatever at his behaviour. They know he is hyperactive, of course, and didn't seem fazed by it... it was me who was getting stressed and angry :-( Of course as usual I fantasised about the "magic pill" even though I know there isn't one... Oh and the visa? I have to wait up to a month or more to hear whether I have the privilege of taking my adopted son to my homeland or not... I am going to argue the nationality thing but it remains a long shot. [/QUOTE]
