[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 511805, member: 11791"] Hi, and welcome. I'm no specialist at anything... but am quite familiar with ADHD, and what you are describing... (in my opinion) either has to be ADHD plus other stuff, OR something more along the lines of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)/Asperger's. Anxiety is a frequent secondary diagnosis (diagnosis) for "our" kids... things are not going well, and they know it, and it affects them. No big surprise there. Sometimes, there is a primary issue with anxiety, as well... so we've been told. Has he ever had an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation for sensory and motor skills issues? Either or both could be a factor... Occupational Therapist (OT) doesn't generally do dxes but definitely has therapies and interventions to help. Ever had an Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) evaluation? hearing, language processing, but especially APDs... can be a huge factor as well. It seems like he does better in a quiet, predictable environment (home), and can't handle one or more parts of school - the noise, the crowds, the motor skills demands, even something as simple as the smells at school.
