[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 140075, member: 1550"] Curiously, has he ever been evaluated by more than a therapist? Has he had a full evaluation by a neuropsychologist? I actually think bio. mom may be right. Giving stimulants to a child who doesn't have ADHD can cause all sorts of problems and I'm wondering if his diagnosis is right. The Connors test alone is pretty useless. Kids with early bipolar and autism will also score "yes" for ADHD on the Connors, but that doesn't mean that's all that's going on. Has he ever acted suicidal? Talked about suicide? The therapist doesn't sound very useful/helpful. Have you thought of taking him to somebody with more credentials? Is hub REALLY ok with only seeing son on that sort of limited basis? Does he not want to maybe find out if more is going on with his child? How does he feel about it? Are there any psychiatric problems on either side of his family tree? He sounds like more than ADHD to me--I'd at least want to explore it before hub only has his own child once every two weeks for a few hours. That's very little contact. [/QUOTE]
