[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 539857, member: 1550"] I would take him to a neuropsychologist to test for everything. I can guarantee you that many disorders resemble ADHD and that ADHD is usually the first diagnosis. a child gets. It is often not the last or the only one. My son used to, as we called it, hang from the chandeleirs. He was out of his crib before age one as he could climb out. He could and would unlock the front door at 3am so we had to get a very high bolt. He put pennies into a socket and killed our fish (and luckily was not too badly shocked himself). He touched everything and took things apart. He never stayed in his car seat so we kept him at home unless his big sister could come with and hold him in his car seat (which made him scream). When he got mad he kicked, bit, and screamed bloody murder. He was never ever sti ll. He was first dxd. with ADHD (severe), but it was later changed to bipolar (wrong) and then autistic spectrum high functioning (right). Many Aspies are brilliant and impossibly hyper. Your child may have ADHD, but in my opinion it's best to leave no stone unturned. That's why I suggest a neuropsychologist. They do TONS of intensive testing. I've seen no professionals who are as intensive. Good luck and please keep us posted :)! by the way, son is a couch potato now. He still moves around when he is sitting, but he is no longer destructive or a screamer and he is drug free. Be carefully of jumping on ONE diagnosis. and deciding that it is the answer. You simply don't k now yet. We started this merry diagnostic ride at two, when we adopted him. He is now almost 19. His diagnosis kept changing! Expect that to probably happen :) Take care! [/QUOTE]
