[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 640508, member: 8831"] that's pretty much a long laundry list of symptoms for a single 8 year old boy. my first question would be, what specific further testing is needed to rule in/out these diagnosis'? my second question would be, what is the UMBRELLA diagnosis that fits all these particular sub-diagnosis's? my third question would be, what, pray tell, other than family therapy would be your targeted suggestions for both home and school to manage the symptoms that are manifesting now, regardless of possible diagnosis? there is [I]no way[/I] that adhd is a stand alone with that list. while there is no blood test or imaging test that will give a firm conclusion, surely a competent professional can narrow that list considerably. medications may be a foregone conclusion, but you need strategies to manage him today--regardless of the label. in my humble opinion, I think you need a competent university based pediatric psychiatric department to further evaluate both kids--someone who can really put your pieces together to help you figure it out. it seems to me that all of your local people have only contributed to the problem, not solved it...that list might as well be the entire DSMV for a kid. just my opinion of course.
