Thanks.
Our pediatrician wants to hold off on meds at this point, too. Especially since his teacher is reluctant to do the scales, and she is a 30-year kindergarten teacher, and had been incredible with him this year. His challenges are almost certainly working memory, but the anxiety can cause deficits there as well. We have a strong family history of ADHD and on his mom's side there is autism, ADHD and Tourette's Syndrome, all of which give us pause for thought.
I told my Dad this was going to be a journey. I have three PG children and DGS is just as smart, he just seems to have a few challenges. I started this to try to get a handle on his educational needs and that is still the goal. FWIW, the school is being very supportive, they gave him informal accommodations and will have copies of all his testing from them available for the neuropsych. They have said they will do whatever is necessary to make his schooling appropriate and hopefully, enjoyable.
