[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 180886, member: 3419"] Oops, wanted to add something interesting ... difficult child got very upset when we talked about ADHD and insisted he was only ADD. (I admit, he was the calmest of the bunch. But he was on Adderal, plus, we've spent 5 yrs in counseling, talking about, among other things, the foot tapping, pencil tapping, chair twirling, scab picking, hopping around, constant motion issues and how he can teach himself to control them.) Today in the fast-food drive-up, he continually hit the button to roll up and down the passenger window. Up, down. Up, down. Up, down. You all know the routine. I remained calm and said, "Just so you know, that repeated kind of behavior is the H in ADHD." He replied, with-a sneer, "No, it's not. It's an anger release mechanism. I am very angry right now." Whoooaah, Nellie! LOL. I said, "Okay, just so you're aware of it." OMG. Leadership, indeed! He had rips in his rubber flip-flops, so he tore them to shreds. Then he wanted to know how he was supposed to walk into his dad's clinic. I said, "On your feet," and I walked away. He was fine on his own two feet. :) [/QUOTE]
