[QUOTE="Chaosuncontained, post: 457486, member: 11016"] "Red flag #1: "I can't do this". Schools take this as "attitude". In fact there could be dozens of reasons why in fact he cannot do what is being asked of him. As a parent - time to go hunting for more dxes. What else is happening? Why? Examples: motor skills issues, sensory issues (overwhelmed, so can't focus), auditory issues (not "getting" verbal instruction so lost in class), learning disabilities, etc. etc. etc." I really think that he has a hard time remembering intructions, or that it is multipulcation and he doesn't or CAN'T focus and think about a problem long enough to do it. He doesn't have any other dignoses. Just ADHD and Mood Disorder. The Mood Disorder was dignosed last year while in school, when we started seeing his new doctor.
