[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 653911, member: 1550"] I think you may get an ADHD diagnosis from school. But to me, it's way too extreme for just ADHD. I'd do the neuropsychologist. Medicaid covered our evaluation. We took him to a university hospital and he was tested for ten hours there. It saved his life, literally. He also was all over the place, running, running, running, jumping,. putting himself in danger (we had to put a lock high up on the door or he'd let himself out at 3am and run around outside, He once electricuted our fish, but that's a longer story. He had language and social delays, although not all ASDers have language delays. My son needed a lot more help than he would have needed if all he'd had was ADHD, yet that was his first diagnosis and he struggled until he got the right diagnosis. Not saying your kid has Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). It could be tons of things.I am doubting that ADHD is the whole picture here. My son needed a lot more than you get for a diagnosis. of ADHD and he got it and is doing great now at age 21. Most active kids meet all the criteria for ADHD. That doesn't mean that is the biggest problem going on. I would definitely go into the medical community, not the school. Teachers are educators, not diagnosticians. Not even if they have taught for forty years. My advice is still the neuropsychologist. Good luck, whatever you do! :) [/QUOTE]
