Mnmom23,
I think someone else said this, but I wanted to reiterate. Sometimes when a child is diagnosed with something like ADHD, there is a concern, but it is not necessarily ADHD. I am not a psychologist, but I did a lot of research when trying to figure out my younger son. He got a diagnosis of ADHD, but vision therapy is doing wonders for him...but I had noticed some concerning visual symptoms so I wanted to explore that side of things before agreeing that he might have ADHD. Another friend, her son sounds a bit like yours, also got an ADHD diagnosis, but his symptoms fit CAPD better. He has a hard time differentiating background and foreground noise. He also has a difficult time paying attention to people lecturing at him, so by the end of the day he is exhausted and can't pay attention anymore. The problem is that the normal psychologist who looks at a child does not necessarily have the skills to differentiate these items.
