[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 608801, member: 1550"] Do not listen to the principal. He is an educator, not one who can diagnose and tell you what is wrong with your child. And don't let "I'm around kids so I've seen so much" make you give him any more credibility. He could have been all wrong about those kids too. The fact is educators are appallingly unsure of most diagnoses and tend to call everything ADHD. I personally don't believe this is just ADHD. But I'm not a doctor either. Problems with speech is common with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) too and it's a common disorder. You'll have to have your chlid evaluated to see what the problem is and 1 1/2 hours looking ONLY for ADHD would make me nervous. Lots of disorders mimic ADHD. Is he incapable of checking for any other things? Can't he do more testing? 1 1/2 hrs is a very small window of time. I hope you can find all your answers. Some of us find out sooner, some later. Most of our kids do not end up with the diagnosis we thought they had in the beginning. As they get older, it becomes more obvious and it is easier for a neuropsychologist (I still like them best...lol) to diagnose. medications can make things better, but they can also make things worse. Beware. If your child is given a medication and suddenly gets worse, it is probably the medication, even if the doctor says "No, no, no, let's up the dose!!!" Read about any medication your child is given and focus on the possible side effects so that you are "in the know." [/QUOTE]
