[QUOTE="Malika, post: 522667, member: 11227"] This is another difference... sounds like you are all saying ADHD is no big deal in the States that merits little attention or help, whereas in France it is this HUGE deal that is like some great monster if you talk about it in terms of your child or to school staff. It is seen as so big that you are kind of strange for "wanting" your child to have it, if that makes any sense. I get the impression from my son's teacher that I should just sit down and shut up about it... In terms of the original question, and the new member who came here looking for help (mea culpa for taking us off track from that), she feels that there is more going on for her son than ADHD because of his rages. What would be the best way for her to get more specific help with that - further evaluations, presumably? It doesn't sound as if her school is being very sympathetic to understanding that there is more going on than "bad behaviour"... [/QUOTE]
