[QUOTE="Malika, post: 612706, member: 11227"] MWM, I'm sorry to seem argumentative but REALLY this is not true! You have said this several times and I feel beholden on behalf of European amour propre to state clearly that ADHD is diagnosed in the same way, using the same criteria, the world over!! That is to say, in Europe it is diagnosed using the DSM and the Connors scale, just like in the States. The only difference being that it is HARDER to get a diagnosis for ADHD in France, where they are more likely to attribute symptoms to psychological factors, though that is thankfully disappearing as associations grow more active in publicising ADHD and it is more and better known among the public at large. So that little detail cleared up, I'd like to say to the original poster that I'm afraid I can give no advice about medications but I really feel for you in your situation. What a lack of understanding and true help it seems you have faced from the school, even if it is not their "fault". I wish things had not got to such a painful point for you all. ADHD children DO have outbursts, as I have repeatedly seen with my son - although he tends to hold things in at school, where the routine and structure are what helps him. I wish I could offer more concrete words of help. Many others here have great experience and knowledge and hopefully someone else will have ideas. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
