[QUOTE="Malika, post: 482456, member: 11227"] Thanks all. Alas, I can't blame it all on tiredness though I think tiredness aggravates it... Today so far we have had an "outburst" first thing this morning because J wanted to put his roller skates on instead of shoes (!!), then later because he didn't want to go to the childminder's for a couple of hours - I had an important meeting with the bank - then because we passed a fun fair and he wanted to go to it straight away. All that gets him out of these fits is distracting him with something else he likes or wants or humour... he is never far away from a laugh so I can usually make him laugh, sometimes by satirising the tantrum itself (which he finds funny), and that shakes him out of it... It's hard work. It's the way it is. This morning I took him for the evaluation with the 'psychomotricien'. After an hour alone with him, giving him various tests, he said at the end that he has some of the signs of ADHD but is untypical in that he concentrates well on tasks once interested and sits still to complete them without movement - he said this is not what he usually experiences with hyperactive kids. He says his writing and fine motor skills are not bad for his age. Intelligence, functioning, all normal, he says. I'd honestly love to know what is really going on for J, what is happening in his brain, if that is where the "damage" is... [/QUOTE]
