[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 569535"] I can see why the behaviorist wants you to mention it to the psychiatrist. It IS an important piece of information. Has he had a thorough evaluation by a neuropsychologist or anything or was it just you and a teacher filling out ADHD questionaires? I really think there is something else going on and adding another ADHD medication isn't going to help with that. In fact, if he is even Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), ADHD medications won't help any more than they are right now, without the Intuniv. The behaviorist is saying this behavior is not ADHD but without an accurate diagnosis to explain it, it is seen as an intentional behavior. They are politely telling you there is something else going on. Jump on it before it causes huge problems at school and he ends up getting in trouble all the time (been there done that). If it's getting worse, it will continue to get worse. Puberty is when difficult child 2's minor "quirks" started to grow and have become HUGE problems at times. Added: you're second post just now just described my difficult child 1 ..... to a T. [/QUOTE]
