[QUOTE="Malika, post: 420991, member: 11227"] Sounds like the kind of conversation some women complain about having with their husbands :-) As you say, so difficult to say when they are little. My son has bizarre conversations sometimes - for example if he talks to my mother on the phone, he won't or can't do a kind of rational exchange about what he has been doing... he goes off into a long stream-of-consciousness monologue (things like "if you have a fire, Ill come and save you!" - inspired by one of his favourite characters called Fireman Sam) that is very difficult to follow. He loves to talk and will chatter away, à la hyperactivity... I don't know. Maybe I'm just foolishly resisting the obvious ADHD label for some reason... last night I read the Connors list of questions for parents, for example, in a French book I have about hyperactivity - I would have to answer in the affirmative for most of them. It's just that... sometimes he is so different, so calm and co-operative when he needs to be, like at school, that it just doesn't seem an obvious case to me. I think there is a sense of relief about getting the CORRECT diagnosis, and then being able to work positively to help it. [/QUOTE]
