[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 572196, member: 11791"] Please get both of them tested... you've already given lots of good "notes" in your posts, you might want to start pulling that info into a "parent report" (it's on the site resources section, but faster to find a post by suziestar, she keeps the link in her signature). It will help you prepare info for any evaluators you meet with. You won't have to rely on memory, which is proven to be "less reliable under stress"! That doesn't mean either or both are on the spectrum. But both have challenges. Even ADHD, not caught, can be a major challenge. ADHD tends to have other things come along with it (although it can be "just" ADHD... I have one of those). And... ADHD tends to be a "first diagnosis" for a number of other things... Aspie and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) among them. If ADHD runs in the family a bit... it's a risk factor for both ADHD and Aspie/Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). So is Schizophrenia, it seems. Common things to be co-morbid with ADHD include... LDs (learning disabilities), APDs (auditory processing disorders), Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) (developmental coordination disorder), anxiety. Much of this doesn't really show up until they hit school. [/QUOTE]
