[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 555309, member: 3419"] The other one does sound like Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). But you know, ADHD for many of our kids, is just the beginning of dxes. It's an adjective that describes impulsivity and speed and lack of attention to detail or ability to concentrate. It tends to evolve and mutate as they go through puberty. Plus, no matter what a person has, they are individuals. I know several people who are bipolar (not even on this board) and the only thing they have in common is that they have difficulty with-their sleep cycles, they are full of energy for days on end, and then they sleep for days on end. Some of them shop and spend ridiculous amts of money, one is a total, controlling b*tch, one is the gentlest person you'd ever want to know. It just tends to magnify their original personality. So ADHD isn't your son's personality, it's just one facet of his behavior. I hope this woman is sincere, and that you and she both understand that these children are as different in as many ways as they are the same, they will not learn the same way other children do, and that they need boundaries and understanding probably more than some of the "regular" kids.
