[QUOTE="soapbox, post: 541327, member: 13003"] IF the ADHD diagnosis is actually accurate (more on that later), then chances of it being just one of the dxes is very high. - half of all kids with ADHD, also have Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) (developmental coordination disorder - a neuromotor problem that affects the planning and/or execution of gross motor skills, fine motor skills or both). - don't know the percentages, but many kids with ADHD have LDs - 70% of kids with ADHD plus a Learning Disability (LD)... also have Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) And that doesn't count the co-morbidity of mood disorders and mental health issues. by the way - mood disorders are extremely common in kids with multiple dxes... especially anxiety and/or depression. It is the result of their life experiences. BUT. ADHD may just be "part of" a different diagnosis. One of the common ones is to be given the ADHD diagnosis but actually be Aspergers. So. You don't really know yet. [/QUOTE]
