[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 442130, member: 1550"] An ADD specialist (obviously he self-appointed himself one) is just a pediatrician who thinks he can spot ADHD. The problem is, many disorders mimic ADHD and if all he knows is ADHD, everyone he sees is going to have ADHD in his eyes. I would take him to a neuropsychologist. It is unlikely that is whole issue is ADHD. Pediatricians are pretty much trained mostly to take care of colds, flus etc. They do not really have the training needed to make accurate diagnoses. Good luck and keep us posted :) [/QUOTE]
