Our DS does show some ADHDish symptoms at home. His moods swing, and he is distractable.
However I can't pinpoint what causes behaviors. Yesterday we went to see his teachers from last year and he was crazy. Hyper and all over and making noises. As soon as we got into the car he was back to himself. He was calm and talking more like an adult again. I can't tell if he was putting on a show or if its a nervous response.
His teacher is a better fit. However she has never worked with a child with sensory issues.
How do we get a "private" diagnosis? He already had Weschler at psycs office and now Stanford Binet at school. How can he have another test?
I've seen him when he gets tested or evaluated by a stranger. It makes him at crazy. I don't think we will get a good reading. IDK (sigh)
Our pediatrician is very good, very intelligent and relates well to our ds. He experienced many similar issues himself and with his son. We meet him on the 26th and he might have ideas.
DS seems to be better on weekends - structure is more relaxed, he gets more sleep, and he has time to play and do fun things.
One of my BIG ISSUES with the school is that when the weather is bad, there is no recess. AND he gets PE only one day a week. PE everyday and recess would help MANY issues.
DS does have some symptoms at home, but much less. He is still distractable and talks constantly. However he focuses on school work very well. He does alright at restraints and at church. You mostly see the behaviors when there is a lot going on around him and in "untypical" situations. He doesn't do well with evals, but adores the pediatrician. I have never figures out what's triggering the issues. Maybe more than one thing?
We are getting a complete vision screening for convergence, perception issues etc. Cant hurt! Eliminate things one at a time.
We just started a high dose DHA supplement, doing gymnastics once a week, trying small things!
If anything comes to mind let me know!
