[QUOTE="forkeeps251, post: 479498, member: 12854"] I'm in the US. He hasn't been actually diagnosed... that is where the psychologist and psychiatrist will come in. The play therapist just said that she see's "multiple indicators", and that she is referring us to them. I don't think that they (the psychologist and psychiatrist) would even SEE him without her referral. He is almost six (will be next month), and I'm not sure at what age they start looking at that. I don't know if maybe they are seeing him now because he is having SO (principal's office a few times a week!) many problems at school, or if that has anything to do with it. I'm honostly do not know what age they diagnose, or what age they begin medications if that is the route they recommend (and that hasn't happened yet). It probably wouldn't be this school year though, I'm guessing... it can take a few months for him to be seen, and then after that, I *think* it can take up to several months to tweak the dosage and for everything to start working properly, and by that point it will be almost summer, so what's the point? I'm not really sure of any of this, but I'm happy that now we at least have a direction to go in :-) [/QUOTE]
