[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 635786, member: 14557"] Malika, heh, my not-so-little-any-more-guy certainly does have some ADHD traits, was (and is) quite hyperactive and was even at the brink of a diagnosis, but he is just too good at managing his focus when he wants to. Normally you would easily believe he has an ADHD (he often is either scatterbrain or over focused, or both at the same time) but if you bribe him well enough, he actually can have rather normal attention to things for periods of time. I do assume it takes more than most people to be 'normally attentive' because usually he does so only when there is something in on it for him. But for his doctors ADHD was inability to manage attention, not unwillingness to do so. But it was a close call and we did get some non-drug treatments they always try first for ADHD kids around here (life/skill coaching/therapy, Occupational Therapist (OT), some accommodations for school and things like that.) It was same with Asperger which he also has some traits from. Good to hear yesterday was better. Of course one day, good or bad, doesn't really tell much, but hopefully the side effects would start to lessen again and he would get some help from these drugs. [/QUOTE]
