I saw some links about diet and I am willing to do anything if that might help.

Anyways, what should I ask the dr? What should I do? I have a log of things I have noticed, behavior-wise, about him.

I just don't want him to be skipped over or not looked at properly. We are going to take him to our family doc, who is awesome. I feel like I should go in there with SOME information. I want him to have the best care we can get him!

BLAH! IDK, I could just use some insight from parents, siblings or those who deal with ADHD on a daily basis. I am way confused right now!

Thanks!
Most diagnosis is done with observational evaluations. Crash is getting started on diagnosis on Oct 6. Be his advocate, and love him. PM me if you need to. (I am falling asleep so I will be thinking better tomorrow)
