[QUOTE="raybrash, post: 94848, member: 4253"] My grandson was diagnosed with ADHD at age 8yrs. He takes adderall xr once daily. This does pretty good most days. He doesn't like taking it for fear it will stunt his growth. Dr. states otherwise. Psychologist seems to think "Lyle" is well rounded and misunderstood. He has problems with lying, cheating and taking things that aren't his. When caught, he denies everthing. The school administrators and teachers try to make it appear as if Lyle is like all other 7th graders who are experiencing growing up. There has never been a suggestion for psychological testing of any kind. We suggested it at this point. We are nearly at our wits end. This child lost his mother tragically at 2 1/2 yrs. old and we gained custody from an abusive father at age 7yrs. There has been no other diagnosis but ADHD. After asking for a psycological exam, we have been scheduled for a consultative IEP meeting with the psychologist and the Sp. Ed. teachers. Acdemically, he is pretty sound when focused, but has a hard time with short term memory. [/QUOTE]
