[QUOTE="Giulia, post: 521345, member: 14306"] I cross my finger for your appointment. I just want to add that your difficult child 2 can have neuropsychologist disorder + sensorial impairment, like a sight impairment or a hearing impairment. I have not only ADHD, but also a Single Sided Deafness (for crowded places, forget about it most of the times). My SSD is sensorineural, so not from the brain but directly in the inner ear. It's not because difficult child 2 has a neuropsychologist disorder that you can absolutely rule out a physical impairment (of course, it complicates the neuropsychologist disorder management : hard to always know what is the chicken, what is the egg). A sight or hearing impairment can be hard to detect (we needed 14 years to discover my SSD. Don't ask me why, I have no idea). So it's not because, at school, they say that everything is okay that it's truly ok : tests at school don't rule out things like SSD, because the material is not adequate (I lived it first hand). But it still can mimic neuropsychologist disorder, or it can be associated with a neuropsychologist disorder. What I can also say is that computer tests can rule out a diagnosis whereas other tests show positive for the diagnosis. A test is interesting only when it comes back positive : it's not because a test is negative that it rules absolutely out a diagnosis (like it's not because tithe test comes back negative that you can absolutely rule out a pulmonary embolism. You can have a pulmonary embolism with negative tithe, as incredible as it seems). So in the mean time, try also to rule out any physical impairment, which can also explain your difficult child 2's difficulties. [/QUOTE]
