[QUOTE="Malika, post: 525724, member: 11227"] Thanks for all your input. I remain confused by this... quite a few professionals now have said that they are puzzled by J because he seems to tick the boxes for ADHD but is able to concentrate - I think even on things that [B]do not[/B] interest him but on which there is social pressure to concentrate - much better than is typically seen with ADHD children. Also he becomes physically quite still at such times, whereas it has again often been said to me that "other" ADHD kids are twisting and turning in their seats, for example, in comparable situations. If we had a system that concentrated on naming skills deficits rather than an overall condition, this would in a sense be more helpful (I know, I know, like that you do not get accommodations and services) because it is clear and observable that he has difficulty managing frustration and is very impulsive, for example.
