[QUOTE="Malika, post: 441399, member: 11227"] Hello and welcome. Diagnosis by distance and on the basis of your description is obviously not reliable - no one here would claim that it is. You have perhaps been given some suggestions - eg autism - that are just for you to investigate or have evaluated and then if they are not applicable, at least you know you have examined possible causes of this behaviour that troubles you (and him). From what I have heard many people saying, if a child really does have ADHD, Ritalin works instantly - you can see the improvement in attention span and capacity at once. And I have also heard people saying that medications have made an enormous difference to the life of their child and consequently their family. And this is being said by someone who is no particular fan of medications! But that too is something for you to think about, to speak to a psychiatrist perhaps and to try. If there IS a medication that could really, fundamentally help your stepson, of course you would want to try it. Best of luck. :) [/QUOTE]
