[QUOTE="Malika, post: 493111, member: 11227"] I found your post interesting, HadAnna. I feel there is some confusion here.... I think the confusion is that at a certain point in time the diagnosis of hyperactivity was combined with the diagnosis of attention deficit disorder, which is basically what you describe. Hyperactive kids lack impulse control and cannot tolerate frustration - this leads to anger and meltdowns and sometimes aggression. My own son is hyperactive but not noticeably deficit in attention. Therefore ADHD indeed does not seem like a good diagnosis for him but there is no other that can apply... He may have other issues too but the central one is clearly hyperactivity and all that goes with it. [/QUOTE]
