[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 457159, member: 11791"] Did your Mom hear this directly from the old counselor? Or from your niece? difficult child kids often manipulate the picture they paint, so that they don't have to deal with change or consequences or whatever. Its not impossible that the counselor would have made that statement... some are that far out in loony land... but I'd say its highly improbable. How many years since the ADHD diagnosis? We find around here that, unless the first diagnosis results in rapid and concrete steps forward, its likely not the whole story. (I know of ADHD kids who went from "devil" to "angel" in 24 hours... the medications were magic. It doesn't always, or even often, go that extreme... but when it does, its obvious that the diagnosis and rx are bang on!) ADHD symptoms can be comorbid with all sorts of other dxes... AND, ADHD symptoms can also be part of [U]other dxes[/U]. Getting a new (not updated) detailed evaluation is going to be critical. [/QUOTE]
