[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 280457, member: 1550"] Take him to a neuropsychologist and have him tested completly. I would bet that the ADHD is likely Aspergers, which would explain everything. These kids are often really smart, but have zero social skills. They desperately need interventions, usually in school. The earlier they get help, the better the overall prognosis. This is a form of very high functioning autism, but can be very debilitating if there is no help. ADHD is a common first diagnosis. You should not feel bad about it. It's not your parenting. It's how he's wired--differently than other kids. Whatever the actual problem is, because of course we can't diagnose, I'd have him evaluated by a neuropsychologist. They are at children's hosptials and university hospitals. You may need your pediatrician's referral. Insist on it. Be firm. And stop feeling guilty. It's not you. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
