[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 596313, member: 11791"] Welcome. Some details aren't quite clear. It sounds like your difficult child was a pretty good kid... until he started school? And then... started going off the deep end about grade 4? If so... well, sounds familiar. I'm guessing either he has the wrong diagnosis, OR his ADHD comes with a list of add-ons (been there done that). And these add-on dxes... drive a kid insane at school. Teachers don't see them. Nobody tests for them. Such as... Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) - auditory processing disorder. In particular, auditory figure ground (not common to screen for, not sure why!) - which is where the person has trouble processing sounds in noisy environments. They hear [I]everything[/I]... and really struggle to figure out where to put the auditory focus and how to "hear"... and then, having spent so much mental brain-power trying to hear, have nothing left to "listen" and get the message. Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) - developmental coordination disorder - which can be global, or very subtle... a kid can be a star athlete, but can't manage "writing". Once a kid gets labelled as having a bad attitude or bad behaviours... the system stops looking for a cause. How long since his comprehensive evaluation? just the inpatient one? [/QUOTE]
