[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 377348, member: 1991"] easy child 2/difficult child 2 had this problem before she started medications, and after she started taking stimulants she still had to re-learn work she had previously done. If she had not had a chance to re-learn before we asked those questions, we would have had the same reaction. easy child 2/difficult child 2 also used to be able to do the work. The problem was, over time her ability to remember work she had previously known, went out the window. We were coaching her to pass a selective school exam (a school placement for gifted & talented kids). One week we would cover a certain topic; she could do it well after we showed her how to do it. A few days later she seemed a bit rusty but would quickly pick it up again. If we waited a week before getting back to it, she would remember having studied it but not remember how to do it. If we waited two weeks, she would deny ever having seen that topic before. We were told that this problem was directly related to the inattention-type ADD - the work was not sinking in properly into her head when she first studied it. Whether this is what is going on with your son - I can't say. But I thought this might help. difficult child 3 is currently having increased problems holding information in his head, we increased his medications and he still has problems. So I'm planning on calling the specialist and asking for some help with this. Time to feed back and ask some questions. Maybe for you too? Let me know how you get on. Whatever it is, your info could help others. Marg [/QUOTE]
