We haven't seen a neuropsych or a dev. pediatrician. My husband is so opposed to any more assessments that we are fighting about it. He just wants son to be "normal". Well, he's NOT NORMAL so accept it and figure it out.
This is my husband too. In his defense he's not with us when we do this stuff (he's at work), so he doesn't see how DS is fine with it... our trips to the hospital for his CAPD assessment, for example, were adventures and went over very well.
This is so confusing. I'm ready to just accept the ADHD diagnosis and put him on the medication to see what happens. If it helps, it helps. If it doesn't, we do something else.
Our school district psychologist suggested that we medicate diagnostically as well. We've opted not to, mostly because DS is pretty well adjust and is making progress without meds. For what it's worth, though, I have a friend whose daughter has done extremely well on a slow release stimulant.
