[QUOTE="buddy, post: 535165, member: 12886"] Oh I'm sorry Malika, It really is hard to weight out those things....trying to predict what may be best. I am leary of any doctor who bases a rule in/rule out of a diagnosis on one visit. I dont know of a single kid with adhd...even Q! Who doesn't have the ability to pull it together at times, especially if they understand the idea of authority. Little ones can be especially impressed into doing really well for a doctor or teacher. That is a great skill, especially if it transfers to doing well on a job, for sure, smile. I think your gut has said all along there is SOMETHING, what that something is and if it comes to the level of a label/diagnosis is not really as important as finding a place that fits his style. Is there such a place around you? It may actually take a while to find it. But if you are in a place where there are options you might be better off. Then again, this kind of situation may happen anywhere. Is he willing to try a different group (or is it like his grade, only a few boys even available to play?)....or does he want to be with the group where the top dog is because that kind of personality actually appeals to him? Just throwing stuff out there, seems odd to say that about such a little guy but he is kind of sophisticated in some ways. Can you spend time this summer investigating options? I am sure that is not easy to do but.... I wish there were alternatives in the teachers mind to punishment. Wish she could work with him on what she is punishing him for and reward him for doing the right thing. Have you met the teacher at the next level or observed the class? [/QUOTE]
