[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 80017, member: 805"] Rachel, I agree with small in that there could be a miriad of things going on and the only way to know for sure is to have a complete evaluation. In the meantime, I can tell you that transitioning is very difficult for the add child (since you specially asked that question). ADD kids also are famously disorganized. My son, now 12 and in middle school, had trouble through 5th grade (haven't heard feedback yet this year!!) with the transitions between coming in and getting settled and doing "journal" work or "problems of the day" as well as transitioning from electices, lunch, and recess. He seemed to need a little extra time to absorb and acknowledge the changes before "getting with the system." We did have issues when he was younger with the physical impulsivity that came with his ADHD. Some of this included the pushing and shoving things. But his physical reactions were purely impulsive and frustrated rather than vindictive and mean. There was always remorse (and always consequences). I certainly hope you are able to get some answers soon. Have you checked with your insurance company to see if they would pay for testing through a local teaching hospital or children's hospital? Good luck. Sharon [/QUOTE]
