[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 496265, member: 11791"] Malika... Just a reminder, (because I'm a broken record on this)... There are MANY things that "look like" ADHD - even with "identical" lists of what they look like to the outside observer. So... just because he "looks like" ADHD, doesn't mean it is ADHD, and especially doesn't mean its only ADHD. My own experience? Your biggest single factor right now is more likely at the attachment level. Next factor up would be sensory. (The third is Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), but he's too young to test for that anyway, even if you had access to that testing.) The extreme emotion just doesn't tie to "plain old vanilla ADHD". Sensory issues and APDs really often go with ADHD - so no surprise there if its all of them. Attachment, though, is just SO huge. Doesn't have to be completely detached and hard and cold and uncaring... but insecure attachment produces strange results. And its a whole different approach to working this issue, than it is for many other issues... Just my 2 cents like usual. [/QUOTE]
