[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 48138"] I agree with smallworld. What I read in your post was a lot of anxiety. Anxiety can look A LOT like ADHD and is commonly mis-diagnosed as such. It took one therapist (therapist) 8 months to figure out that my difficult child did not have ADHD. A pediatrician is probably not the best person to diagnosis (diagnose) a child with something as this, as it doesn't sound to me as if this is a cut and dry case (so to speak), although they are a good starting point and resource. Re: your meeting with the school tomorrow - read the Special Education Archives. There is a lot of information in there. Martie and Sheila on the Special Education Board are just a wealth of information and are always happy to assist. Most importantly, you are not a failure. You are trying to help your child and it takes time to learn to navigate the land of GFGdom. I spent a lot of time feeling that way and it was just wasted energy. Remember to take time for yourself. It's important. Welcome to the board. I'm glad you've found us. [/QUOTE]
