[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 44163, member: 1550"] Yep. ADHD is usually the first diagnosis given. ADHD/ODD is often the first combination diagnosis and if stims don't help or make it worse, it's not necessarily correct. But many parents, in my opinion, are afraid to hear anything more than ADHD, even if it's Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) or bipolar, so the parents are told it's ADHD to appease them. Stims can and do make kids with other disorders worse. It boggles the mind that teachers would want kids on stimulants for behavioral remedies. Unless a child has ADHD, it acts like speed. THat's why I recommend NeuroPsychs. They do more careful testing and don't just look for ADHD. [/QUOTE]
