[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 528977, member: 11791"] Exactly. My difficult child? They told us at the LAST round of evaluations... that his executive functioning is so poor as to be extreme. As though THAT was news to us... but it didn't explain HIS "ODD" either. Our answer - not necessarily yours - was a combo of Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), and fatigue. And half the fatigue comes from the Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) and Auditory Processing Disorders (APD). Just getting the right dxes... cut the behavior problems in half. Because... HE had been right all along. After 10 years of being told you're telling lies when you tell the truth, and being told you're good when you tell people what they want to hear... he was one confused kid. The Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) diagnosis got him some extra accommodations at school, including a personal FM system that raises the teachers voice above the background noise. (He got the Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) diagnosis earlier, and already had accommodations... but it wasn't enough). School tells us that kids in HS do NOT take kindly to these systems, they "don't want to be different". Reality? That is true, UNLESS you happen to be the kid who really needs it... so, if they use the system? they need it. [/QUOTE]
