[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 78711, member: 3626"] Getting tested is a good thing. As you've been told, it does not mean blood tests or the like. Most of it is in the form of questionnaires. It is crucial they be answered as honestly as possible. Don't downplay something because you are afraid what it might mean. Don't overstate something because you think it will make you or your child look bad. It sounds like you have a very caring teacher who is in your son's corner. She may be able to recommend someone she trusts for the testing since her sons have it. It may be difficult to hear an official label but imagine how difficult it is for your son. My daughter has ADHD. She could not tolerate the medications because of some minor physical problems but we did get her accommodations in school to help her with focussing and to help her from being sent to the office constantly. Whether we like it or not, people are going to judge us. If your son does have ADD or ADHD or some other ailment, some will think it is due to poor parenting no matter what you do. Heck, you could have the most perfect child in the world and people would say your child is perfect because you're a control freak. In this world, you just can't win, so the best you can do is what you think is best for your chldren. You've found a great group here. There really isn't anything you could say or do that hasn't been said or done here before (well, almost anything -- I don't think anyone has truly murdered their child although most of us have considered that a time or two).
