[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 508573, member: 11791"] I don't recall if someone asked on another thread... Who did the ADHD diagnosis? Has she ever had a comprehensive evaluation? Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation? Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) evaluation? Because... ADHD is an "interesting" diagnosis. Sometimes it is accurate, but there are [I]more things[/I] going on. Sometimes... there is something else going on entirely. And sometimes, it is just the "tip of the iceberg" leading to other complex dxes that include ADHD-type symptoms. For example... ADHD dxes have - for some families on this board - turned into Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) or Aspergers. ADHD dxes can also turn into Auditory Processing Disorders (APD)/Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD)/other auditory issues. Or... The stats I've seen state that: 1) 50% of kids with ADHD also have Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) (developmental coordination disorder, which affects motor skills) 2) There is a fairly high co-morbidity between ADHD and LDs (don't have numbers on that) 3) 70% of kids who have ADHD and Learning Disability (LD)(s), also have some form of Auditory Processing Disorders (APD). Wish I knew what kind of diagnosis would fit the "refusal to take pills" symptom... sounds like the problem isn't medications compliance (willingness to take medications), but the actual physical pill? Is she a fussy eater? only likes certain textures, for example? [/QUOTE]
