[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 119993, member: 1550"] Sweetie (I'm an old fart so I can call ya that, I hope :) ) I would not trust his psychiataric/neurological diagnosis to even the most understanding pediatrician. You have a complicated gene pool and he has odd symptoms that may be more than ADHD. I would take him to a neuropsychologist and/or a Psychiatrist (with the MD). This pediatrician may know a lot about ADHD, but he does he know how to test for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), bipolar, etc? I just wouldn't trust that his diagnosis. is the big picture. Up to you, of course, but they didn't have all the extra years of psychology/psychiatry/neurology that the other guys do, and I like to start at the top. Especially since your son isn't better, I'd go further. Lots of kids with disorders have good/bad weeks. It's part of it. Just when we think they're A-ok, they flounder again. medications or the right interventions can really change things a lot for the better. Congrats on the new baby! [/QUOTE]
