[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 195330, member: 3930"] MWM, Thanks for your posts. I agree it sounds like jal's difficult child is being treated for a mood disorder (the Early Onset Bi-Polar (EOBP)). So my question for jal would be - are you seeing improvements in just behavior but the ADHD symptoms are still there? Maybe the ADHD is a misdiagnosis - in her case as well as in mine. I never suspected ADHD for my son - until we went to the psychiatric. He seems to fit the criteria - but I have always felt there is more to it - the ODD for sure. jal, I was thinking the same thing - 'do you have my kid'! My son used to love the vacuum - now he gets irritated when I vacuum and turns it off. He does this mostly when he is watching tv or on the computer. I think I have also noticed since it is loud at swimming lessons and it echos in there - he doesn't hear what they want him to do - and then he also doesn't ask for clarification. So maybe I need to make an appointment. with his doctor, ask to trial a mood stablizer, and hold off on the adderall for awhile? Should I see if this works first, or try for the neuropsychologist evaluation first? Thanks again everyone! [/QUOTE]
