[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 405007, member: 2322"] I may have missed something earlier, but he is in elementary school right? You are not reporting things like huge rages (real fits of destructiveness, screaming out of control for a long period), presumably the neuropsychologist testing would have raised any concerns about being on the autistic spectrum? He is your biological child? Have you tried any ADHD medicines to see if they help? While I and many others here think neuropsychologist testing is really valuable, it is not infallible. A number of people have had neuropsychologist reports that contradict themselves or overlook things that are picked up later. You seem to be describing something that looks like ADD, and would seem to respond to many of the strategies recommended for ADD kids. So little of this stuff is a science. I wouldn't stress over the label, the more important thing is whether you feel like and the school have strategies for addressing the issues, are trying to make life easier for this kid who sounds like he is struggling. If you feel that things are going in the right direction keep going. [/QUOTE]
