[QUOTE="KitKat, post: 117047, member: 4518"] Thanks! He was evaluated in 2002 for an entire day by the McGill Learning Clinic staff. That consisted of neuro-psy, physical condition, a bunch of other tests that addressed his ability for cognitive thought processes etc... and out of that diag they weren't sure if he was intellectually compromised or if he just was being obstinate! This is a group of people who make it their lifelong work to evaluate and diagnose learning and behavioural issues in children, and they still couldn't figure him out. Anyway out of that we went onto the Ritalin-type drug and it did work for awhile. He's now 15.5 yrs old and is on 54mg of Concerta which I'm hearing is not adequate for his weight group. Since he's come back here to live more locally with his mother we will pick up and get him re-assessed. My frustration revolves around the social system's complete apathy in the area of assistance. We get with someone for about 10 weeks and then they drop off - either pregnancy, burnout or quitting. Thanks for letting me vent! [/QUOTE]
