[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 452813, member: 11791"] Time for the next round of specialists. It is NOT at all uncommon to find that the first diagnosis is either incomplete or not quite correct (or off base completely!). For example... in our case, the ADHD diagnosis was correct, but there were lots of other things going on, and it has taken years to figure them all out AND get accommodations etc. Others on this board have talked about starting with ADHD and ending up with a diagnosis that "includes" ADHD symptoms... for example, anything on the autism spectrum. And still others - were completely mis-labelled. Wrong diagnosis. One way or the other, it is obvious that the current diagnosis does not seem to fully explain the current symptoms. Now that he is older, you have school experiences as well as your own. There's more data to go on, for the specialist to make a diagnosis. Ideally, you'd be able to access a broad-spectrum evaluation... like neuropsychologist, or a Developmental/Behavioural Clinic at a teaching hospital. You need someone who can evaluate for a number of possibilities if necessary, and who can follow up with additional evaluations if this round is still not quite fitting. [/QUOTE]
