[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 606835, member: 1550"] Who diagnosed him? Has he ever seen a neuropsychologist? How was his infancy and his milestones? Did he have any chaos in his early life? It does not sound to me, as a layman mom, as if this is a discipline problem or just ADHD. I've kinda been around the block with this and found it takes perseverence on Dad and Mom's part to get the right diagnosis and help. It's a lucky person who gets the right answer the first time, especially in such a young child. My son was diagnosed at first with ADHD/ODD then with childhood bipolar and finally with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified,which is his correct diagnosis. Took the right diagnosis to get him the right help in school and elsewhere, but he thrived afterward. Sadly, he had been on every medication for ADHD by then and many heavy duty medications for bipolar. We warrior moms have to fight hard for our answers! Welcome to the board. There is hope and help, but we need to go after it. The first thing I'd do is get him completely evaluated by a neuropsychologist. Don't trust the school, a therapist, or an educator to know how to test him right. [/QUOTE]
