I think Malika is so knowledgable about who J is and what does and doesn't work for him, that any analysis and/or diagnosis will be superficial-based on the most obvious of symptomology. There are probably as many books that favor one behavioral approach equally as those that favor another. You could meet a dozen people who parent a child with adhd and each will have their unique approach toward their child. Unfortunately, at this point, blood cannot be taken-as in diabetes- and see what is in excess or missing and 'fix' it just so. Neurobehavioral issues are so complex. Malika you are doing a fine job with J! YOU are the most competent and knowledgable person about how to support J.
