[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 111849, member: 1991"] Welcome. And while I recognise others are trying to allay your concerns, what you describe does sound familiar to me. It may just be part of the ADHD, or you may need to do some reading on Asperger's or some other form of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) (Pervasive Developmental Disorder). But do not self-diagnose, you need to get that done by an expert. From my own experience, it helped me to have a few ideas under my belt to talk to the doctor about. It provided a short-cut to diagnosis. We'd been running around like headless chickens for many months, when I stumbled across Asperger's Syndrome, read about it and went straight to the doctor. His response was to smack his own forehead and immediately write a referral for us, to a specialist. Whatever it is, even if it is just ADHD, it is always a good thing, I feel, to keep an open mind about the diagnosis in case there is something else there which needs attention. Parental instincts can be very powerful. Follow their lead to either find your fears groundless (and be reassured) or get some earlier answers than you otherwise would. Good luck, keep us posted.
