[QUOTE="Malika, post: 485251, member: 11227"] Thanks Buddy. I don't want to hide away from this... I think there is definitely something going on with J, no question about it. My concern isn't even, if I think about it, that I now fear a label for him - which in all likelihood is going to be ADHD (oh dear MWM, I do fear the impression I might have created here; France, Europe, the US, they all use the same DSM diagnostic criteria - it honestly isn't some other planet :)) simply because that's what he resembles and there isn't the set-up here to go into the subtleties. Maybe if I were in one of the big cities but I think not round here. No, what I fear is that he is not going to integrate socially and will have problems in his life because of the anti-social tendencies. That is what we all fear, right? And there's definitely a risk of that. All I can do is ask to see the psychiatrist, alone, and reiterate my concerns I guess. I realise I have been kind of resting in, and liking, the fact that J seemed fine at the school. That reality now seems a bit more complex and, yes, it opens up a crack that I fear. [/QUOTE]
