[QUOTE="Malika, post: 516000, member: 11227"] Thanks for all your input. I'm apprehensive about a diagnosis of ADHD for J - which would probably be forthcoming as he ticks almost all of the boxes - when it may not in fact be accurate and [B]possibly[/B] (still can't quite convince myself about this!!) trying him on a stimulant in due course when the origin of the problem may be something else. The stimulants are usually given to ADHD kids to help with the attention in school. J doesn't have this problem, yet at least, though he will sometimes say when upset about something else "And at school I have to WORK and WORK and WORK! And I get tired and hungry all the time.." I would like to insist that his attention is specifically tested before an ADHD diagnosis is given. But for the sensory processing disorder (SPD) or Sensory Integration Disorder (SID), I really don't know... I'm in the wrong place for it. [/QUOTE]
