[QUOTE="buddy, post: 482706, member: 12886"] Hi Nixx, I second what both posts said, and certainly agree with midwest mom, it will be helpful for you to share some early developmental history. There are many of us here who have kids who share similar behaviors to your son. You are not alone. My son took the evaluation books off the table and ran across another nearby conference table and threw them in the basket during his first neuropsychologist evaluation at age 4.2! Yeah, by then a kid in preschool had to go to the hospital with a bloody face from a block Q threw at him. It feels terrible when people see your child as a "naughty" kid. Impulse control??? yes, probably. but that does not necessarily mean adhd. There are many reasons for impulse control issues. He could have sensory integration issues, developmental issues, mental health issues, etc. And none of those means he is IQ/ability impaired. I would add to midwest mom's questions regarding play... if he does "imaginative" play....is it a copy of what he sees on tv or in movies or what other kids do, or can he take what one kid suggests, then expand on it, then let the other child modify, or add or just have the characters take turns etc. Sometimes play can look imaginative but is really scripted. These questions may seem odd, but each of us here has some areas that we are better versed in. Your answers will help those of us who can relate to share with you better. It is not judgement at all, and if you dont know, that is fine too. Start calling now for an evaluation. Even if you decide you dont need it, it can take time so best to start. Many of us like to have neuropsychological testing done (neuropsychologist). It is a comprehensive evaluation that can help identify issues and tell differences between different diagnosis. They give ideas for how the child learns and how they process information in the world. This information will help you and your doctor to decide on treatment. It may not be medicine, may be ordering occupational therapy or a therapeutic program (my son went to a specialized preschool paid for by his insurance). This is not an unusual story in the world, dont be afraid, you are not not not alone. [/QUOTE]
