[QUOTE="agee, post: 414718"] This was our experience. I knew something was not quite right at age 3, but waited until 4 to call doctors and I finally found a practice that was willing to consider it. First we saw a child psychologist who was to refer us to a psychiatrist if our interview warranted further action. I imagine she was to ask me about discipline and expectations and boundaries at home - but within 7 minutes of watching my son fling himself at me, climb the couch, jump off, fly in the air with no regard for landing...she said she'd refer us. For my boy it's a combination of things - ADHD, sensory processing disorder (SPD), probably fetal alcohol effects - all bundled into one. Stimulants help the neurons in his brain fire faster. They can communicate better. He is less impulsive. He does less self-stimulating activities that he did to keep his brain humming (noise making, wiggling, jumping, jerking, etc.). Off the medications all bets are off. Now that he's older he's less a bundle of energy, more a bundle of impulsivity. Not sure what that means for the future! A [/QUOTE]
