Hi CD,
My difficult child was just diagnosis'd with AD-HD but I don't this the H is present with her. She didn't start having problems until she hit middle school and it became a huge issue in high school. We just got a 504 in place for her and I really hope it helps her out.
Her psychiatrist put her on wellbutrin (for depression but has a stimulant in it) which is being used to treat depression and AD-HD, she is also on Celexa. She started this almost 4 weeks ago and I am finally starting to see results, I hope it helps her focus in class.
The psychiatrist also mentioned Strattera which is a non stimulant but suppose to help with AD-HD, you may want to check into that.
It is amazing how much your difficult child sounds like mine in fact other than the Auditory Processing Disorders (APD). It sounds almost as if you were talking about my difficult child.
Best of luck it is so hard seeing them struggle. After a while they just give up!
Robin
