[QUOTE="alevine76, post: 131204, member: 4774"] Midwest Mom, we did a complete neurological work-up when we got him diagnosed and he was fine. Regarding my side of the tree, there is nothing out of the ordinary. On his bio-father's side, there may be history...but we aren't together (haven't been since he was 3 mo. old) and they aren't willing to share any negative family history with me. His original doctor met with his bio-father when doing the background work for his evaluation and feels there may be a genetic component from that side of the family, but because we don't know for sure it's hard to say. He is on ADHD medications and they help a lot with impulsivity, but not enough for him to stop the behaviors before it's too late. So Tired - thank you so much for your words of encouragement. I worry so much about what kind of life my son will have when he gets older if he doesn't learn proper coping skills now. We have spent so much money on specialist, etc. and it only seems to help for a few days and then we are back to square one. I used to work part-time just so I could go to school with him during the day and make sure he did his work. Boy was that exhusting! It is too a point where he needs that kind of attention again, but I just don't have the energy or patients anymore. [/QUOTE]
