[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 543940, member: 11791"] Medicated for ADHD? was that effective, or not? IF NOT... please consider that he may have Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) - especially the less-well-known forms, such as auditory figure ground (brain sound filters don't work, so background noise is a HUGE problem). Plus... the number of people out there with ADHD who "only" have ADHD... is not the majority of people with ADHD. So, the chances of something else going on is very high. - How are his motor skills? fine (writing, tieing shoes, eating properly, etc.) and gross (riding a bike, playing sports)? 50% of kids with ADHD also have Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) (developmental coordination disorder) - I don't know the percentages off the top of my head, but it is common for kids with ADHD to also have a Learning Disability (LD) (learning disability) - 70% of kids with ADHD plus a Learning Disability (LD), also have some form of Auditory Processing Disorders (APD). And that is before we get to the other things that "look like" ADHD. My difficult child is an ADHD-plus alphabet soup of dxes. But other difficult children on this board have started with an ADHD diagnosis and ended up with something very different - like Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), or some form of MI. Are you in the States? or some other country? (makes a difference on the approach used to get answers) [/QUOTE]
