[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 55695, member: 1991"] Welcome. I'm also thinking about the possibility of misdiagnosis. Sometimes the ritalin works for all sorts of reasons, when later on it's not enough. It happened like that with difficult child 1 - he didn't react too badly (apart from rebound) but he did turn out, at 15, to get a diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome. difficult child 3 had a number of labels thrown at him until finally several experts told us he had autism. Later on I discovered he fitted the criteria for hyperlexia, which in this case is I think a subset of high-functioning autism. Certainly the hyperlexia has been a big breakthrough opportunity for his communication (which was not a problem for difficult child 1, since his diagnosis is not full-on autism). I'm tired and probably not making a lot of sense right now. I'll keep looking for your posts along with a few others, while I catch up on my last month's absence. Marg [/QUOTE]
