[QUOTE="Malika, post: 592394, member: 11227"] Just received the neuro-psychiatric. report. It is now incontestable that he is ADHD - she carried out many tests of attention/concentration and he is way, way below the norm for his age, simply unable to concentrate for any length of time, with a VERY high distractibility and impulsivity. He is not autistic according to the test she carried out. However, despite what she said to me on Friday, she now moves away from a formal diagnosis of visuo-spatial dyspraxia, saying only that he has visual, temporal and spatial problems. Apparently other visual and spatial tests he did show that he is just within the norm and cannot allow a formal diagnosis of dyspraxia.... I can see, reading the report, how stimulants would help him, would have to help him, in terms of school. That does not mean I am convinced that he should take them. But I wonder if we should conduct a trial over the summer holiday, if the psychiatrist is willing? [/QUOTE]
