[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 581562, member: 11791"] The problem is, your difficult child is NOT just "ADHD" plus mood disorders. He hasn't got the right diagnosis yet, and without that... he isn't getting what he needs. The doctor is right - he isn't doing the work and/or isn't participating because he can't, and school is labeling it all as "attitude". been there done that. Warrior mom time (again). I'm still thinking the missing dxes [I]might[/I] include... - Aspie or somewhere toward that - the social skills stuff, in particular, and the inflexibility... - Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) - although they likely won't test him yet There might be other possibilities too. Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) is what almost KILLED my difficult child. His inability to do the work was directly tied to not being able to "catch" the directions. He then got in trouble for... - copying the work of others - not staying on task - "attitude" The anxiety came from not knowing what he was supposed to be doing, and not making the right "guesses"... plus the social problems that were already developing. The way the school handled it made everything 100x worse - and we didn't know what we were dealing with until 10 years later. Is he getting help with speach and motor skills?
