[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 403580, member: 1550"] My fourteen year old is ADD inattentive and nobody pegged her as having it because she is not hyper and is well behaved. She is opinionated and can argue, but not maliciously. And her social skills are really good...she is very popular. Supposedly, ADHD kids struggle with social skills, but not her. She is sort of a leader in school socially, in spite of academic struggles. She excels in sports which helps. It was difficult to get the school to believe she had ADD, although shes'd already been diagnosed with it by a neuropsychologist... until she took the TOVA test and the rest of the IEP testing at school...haha. She has severe ADD. I think it gets harder for the kids because the school work gets harder as the chld moves through school and more is expected of you and ADDers tend to have memory issues and organizational problems. My daugher needs and gets a lot of good supports to help her. She has a 504 plan. Without them, no matter how hard she studies, she can not do well. It is untrue that ADD involves behavioral issues. If there is too much over-the-top behavior it is probably more than inattention ADD. Anyhow, that's my experience. Your son does not sound that serious, behavior-wise. Why do you feel he will end up in trouble? [/QUOTE]
