[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 404026, member: 1169"] I wouldn't worry aboyut the labels. It doesn't change WHO your son is, it just gives him access to services, etc. ADD can be part of a bigger picture or it could be a stand-alone issue. Often if it is 'just' ADD, it will respond quickly to the medications. My daughter Piglet is 'just ADD and is doing great; yes, she has some struggles with attention and processing and some people who don't get it (coaches, teachers, etc) get frustrated with her because they want to see more "effort" from her. (She is giving 100% effort - she's just so demure that they don't see it without being reminded to look at what she is accomplishing, not how loud she shouts about it). I agree with the rest of the 'cd family' -- complete neuropsychologist testing to find out if there are other underlying issues -- developmetal, senosry, learning, mental health, etc. [/QUOTE]
