"I mentioned he has a current thyroid problem (lab work is way off) that hasn't been treated. She told me if it were thyroid, the one on one environment would help him concentrate, but it didn't. However, I have the same thyroid problem and a lot of concentration/memory problems. One on one does not help me. So, I'm not sure where she's going with that. Does anyone here have a clue?"
Hi Holly -- Firstly welcome, glad you found these boards.
A thyroid problem that causes thyroid levels to be either low or high could impact testing performance, school performance, school enjoyment, distractability, etc. Either high or low thyroid levels can cause a person to be upset or cry more easily than usual too. If he has even a subtle thyroid problem that may be the first thing to address and then if his behavior and school enjoyment isn't back to normal try to retest (with a different test to make it a fair test) after you've determined his thyroid levels have been well within an optimal range for at least 6 weeks.
