[QUOTE="Malika, post: 458773, member: 11227"] Hi MWM. In big cities, they will have heard of ADHD (some people anyway) and have some experience of it. In this village school, I swear to you, they have never heard of it and would say they have never had anyone with it. The teacher has told me that she has had children who were more turbulent and worse behaved than J - I said to her that maybe she has had some undiagnosed ADHD students (she looked sceptical). The child psychiatrist gives me the impression she has had quite a large experience of ADHD children and it would, I presume, be helpful for her to talk to the school. The teacher wants to put off such a meeting until his IQ has been tested, I am not quite sure why. She did ask me during our brief conversation on Monday whether I knew anything about J's birth mother or the pregnancy history because she thinks his hyperactivity could be due to maternal depression, for example, and not ADHD (?) No one involved with the school has heard of ADHD or has any experience of it. This does make things rather interesting... :) [/QUOTE]
