[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 270643, member: 1550"] Sounds to me like your son has more issues than just ADHD. in my opinion you should re-evaluate him (take him to a neuropsychologist). It's my understanding that kids with ADHD don't have those crazy moodswings. I'm just a mom so my opinions are just opinions, but here they are: His uneven school behavior (happy one day/off-the-wall the next) sounds more like bipolar, but his behavior almost sounds like Aspergers. If he has either of those, he could get an IEP with no trouble. I know kids with ADHD--friends of my daughter, in fact, she may have it--and none of them are particularly bad behavior problems. They struggle with organization and in school, but they don't have the same issues as your son. Rigid, concrete thinking is more of an Aspie trait (I have one of those). If you have one Spectrum kid, you could well have another. It's genetic and your son may just have a less severe type. However, it could be impacting him as much as it does your older son. I'm wondering if you are happy with his diagnosis. Who diagnosed him? A neuropsychologist evaluation would pinpoint any/all areas of trouble and certainly help you get an IEP. Whatever is wrong with him is affecting his education and he SHOULD have an IEP. They are making him feel terrible about himself, and he doesn't need to be treated that way. [/QUOTE]
