[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 144387, member: 1550"] Was he heavily exposed to alcohol, as well as drugs? Sounds like he could be experiencing the brain damage of fetal alcohol effects (not Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), but Fetal Alcohol Effects.) I'd go to a neuropsychologist, but make sure he is familiar with kids who have been exposed to substances prenatally. My autistic son had that sort of background and a laundry list of diagnosis. because nobody knew how much the alcohol and crack had affected him. To be honest, due to his background, it is likely more complex than ADHD and LDs. At this point I'd skip a psychiatrist. They don't know as much about drug effects as NeuroPsychs (we had LOTS of experience with that, unfortunately). Unless the professional has seen and understands drug and alcohol affects on a developing fetus, he will probably give him a label that won't help him--been there/done that too many times to count.
