[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 587723, member: 1550"] Lack of compassion is not an ADHD trait. Did your son, perchance, have a very chaotic infancy and toddlerhood where he had many caregivers or a lack of consistent caregivers? Lack of empathy, along with inability to listen to anything, reminds me of attachment disorder. On the other hand SOME (and I say this as a mom with a child who has TONS of empathy) kids on the autism spectrum appear to have no empathy, but that is only because some do not know how to express it. But ADHD? That's not a symptom of ADHD and is usually not a symptom of higher functioning autism either. If the poor little guy had some tough early years, that would explain it more. What happened to his father? Was he abusive? Is your son cruel to animals or does he wet the bed and poop in inappropriate places? How does he interact with his same age peers? How does fiance deal with him? I wouldn't spank this child. Is this child seeing a psychiatrist? Has he had a complete neuropsychologist evaluation? I would recommend both. [/QUOTE]
