[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 561100, member: 1514"] Well, I talked to the kids today about Hailie. Billie is in total denial saying things about how Hailie is learning her alphabet and blah blah blah. And I had to interrupt her and tell her that ADHD has absolutely nothing to do with intelligence and that I had always known Hailie was smart. Billie did make one comment about how I had been saying they needed to get her tested for years and I said yeah well I have seen some signs I have been worried about and I have always been of the mind that the earlier you catch things the better the chance for success. Well, Jamie was just the opposite. He was in tears and thinking her life was completely ruined. He almost took a personal day for the day after the parent teacher conference and swore he would never go to another teacher conference that way he would never have to know what went on in school...lol. It also didnt help that every time Jamie moved after he had told the teacher that he had ADHD as a kid the teacher pointed out all the things he was doing that showed he still had it as an adult! I dont know why that came as such a shock to him because I have been telling him that for years but I guess hearing it from someone else just hit him differently. He is scared to death that Hailie will end up doped up and slobbering in the corner because she is so drugged up. I told him that simply doesnt happen anymore, not for kids with what she could possibly have. He does remember Cory going through drug trials but that was still in what could be called the infancy of childhood bipolar with mental health. Things have come so far in the last ten years. They will come even farther in the next ten years before his daughter is 15. Actually after hearing Billie telling me everything that the teacher circled on the paper Im not so sure I agree with the ADHD diagnosis anymore. I am thinking I may be leaning more towards an anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) diagnosis. Here are basically what she said: Has to have things perfectly organized worries about what everyone else is doing before she will start on her own work talks out of turn cant stay in seat always tries to get near her friends gets upset if things dont go her way [/QUOTE]
