[QUOTE="butterfly31972, post: 175520, member: 4088"] UPDATE: Well, when I went in the pediatrician, who knows him, said that he is definitely showing signs of ADHD and ODD; but that he is too young for him to medicate at this time. So I have to wait until he has been in a mainstream kindergarten for six months, see how he does, then we can talk again about medication. He read the evaluations and questionnaires from the teachers and us and wants to wait. He did not suggest a psychiatric evaluation at this point. I am kind of used to the way he acts and was surprised that the teachers in his special needs class were so adamant about him needing the ADHD evaluation and I told the doctor that they do not feel he can handle a mainstream class with out being medicated. But he said wait, so I will. I kinda admire the fact that he did not pull out his prescription pad and write me a prescription right then and there. But he is the one who diagnoses and prescribes those such things in that particular office. It is a big practice and I like that they can handle most of our issues in that office. Midwest mom, I guess I will have to find out how to get a full evaluation some other way. [/QUOTE]
