[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 511496, member: 11791"] The reason I'm asking is... there are three things that often go with adhd... 1) motor skills issues - 50% of kids with ADHD have Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) - whether diagnosed or not. This is separate from sensory issues. 2) LDs - various learning disabilities can show up when they start school, OR not until later. 3) auditory processing disorders - 70% of kids with adhd plus a Learning Disability (LD), have Auditory Processing Disorders (APD). It is not unusual for "start of school" to trigger all sorts of reactions - in part because life at school is very different from life before school started. It is now more obvious if motor skills are "behind"... and far more impact if they are, both on the playground and in the classroom, plus the social impact that goes with. On top of that, APDs can look like ADHD, even if ADHD isn't there at all. And both motor skills issues, and APDs, can generate significant fatigue overload... which can spill over into behavior problems. Not saying this IS the problem... I'm just another parent. But... we HAVE been down this road. (the whole strep/PANDAS theory is also interesting... didn't know about that one) [/QUOTE]
