[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 539767, member: 1514"] My younger two knew from the time they were diagnosed. It was hard not to know something was amiss. Even before then we knew they were a handful. Both of them exemplified the word hyper from the get go. Jamie was flipping out of his crib at 5 months and crawling around the apartment. We had to line the area around his crib with laundry baskets so he had a soft place to land when he flipped out and then he could just climb out of there and go. He was on his feet scooting furniture by 7 months and let go at 8...running by the time he was 10 months and there was no keeping up with him after that. Cory was just slightly behind him. He walked at 9. I had my hands full. When I had to take them out together I put them on a two headed dog leash. Boy did I get some stupid comments but at least I didnt lose my kids...lol. When Jamie was dxd at 4 and a half we just told him he had problems sitting still to listen to people and paying attention. We didnt put him on medication until Kindergarten started though. He still wasnt very still. Cory was used to Jamie taking pills so when he got diagnosis'd he was like...oh so I have what Jamie has? Yep...no you get your pills. We called them wiggle pills. They both went to 2 hour therapy class every day during the week but at different times of the day. Being two years apart allowed that. All their lives they have known it was something. In the beginning Jamie was ADHD and Cory was ADHD/ODD. Jamie kept his but Cory's changed over time. [/QUOTE]
