[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 592053, member: 11791"] Sorry. ADHD does NOT always involve impaired working memory. Mine happens to be superior... and I'm over-the-top on focus issues. The alphabet soup? you'll get used to it. How about... statistics? Half the kids with ADHD also have Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD)... no one knows how many kids have Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) without ADHD, but that is also known to exist. This is a Canadian take on things... based on our years of working through the system. ADHD is a "spectrumish" condition, and is related to Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). However. ADHD kids typically are not nearly so severe in their social skills issues. But like Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), ADHD is a whole spectrum. And the two kind of run together. So... you can be mild ADHD, or next-thing-to-Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and still be "just" ADHD... or be Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) but so mild that you're closer to ADHD than to most Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids... The Sensory Stuff? goes with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), dyspraxia/Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD)... basically, any of the "developmental" issues along that spectrum, tend to also have some level of sensory processing/integration issue. It all involves the same parts of the brain, I'm told. All of these labels and ratings are just lines in the sand as we try to define levels and types of "disabilities" but... it's really a very fluid spectrum of conditions. I CAN tell you that Occupational Therapist (OT) is a big help on both sensory integration and on motor skills challenges... label or no label. [/QUOTE]
