[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 182406"] I haven't read through all of the other posts completely - just skimmed them - but I do strongly agree that you need someone other than the pediatrician in this case. They are way out of their league when it comes to brain disorders. A lot of disorders have a lot of overlap symptoms and what looks like ADHD can actually be something else, like anxiety for example. Anxiety mimics ADHD in a lot of ways. Because of all of the overlap, you really need a psychiatrist, therapist and possibly a neuropsychological evaluation. Further, as you'll see as you spend more time on the board, most of our kiddos start out with an ADHD diagnosis and then other diagnosis's are either added or the ADHD is replaced. ADHD seems to almost be a catch-all diagnosis these days. As is ODD. Welcome to the board. [/QUOTE]
