Thanks again Bipolarmedstudent hun,
He has such huge potential....not sure if I mentioned he wants to be an engineer and he is full force that, that is exactly what he is going to do and I KNOW that he will. I have always told my kids that whatever they want with hard work and determination they can achieve it.....that they have everything else they need in them. The part for me that is so frustrating is that THEY see it as a problem/Disability I see it as a Super busy smart brain that can outsmart me/most people at times They see argumentative & difficult I see a sad, frustrated little boy at not being able to get them to understand. I get so angry because they make it seem like he is being difficult because he just doesn't want to work & I know different.
For me the most difficult part is knowing how I can help him effectively. I am so lost as there is so little actually helpful information out there on Inattentive type.

To get a full evaluation here is approx $5000 and the school board has an allowance of so many students per school that are eligible for full coverage, I pushed for him for two years to be considered before he got in. He did finally get the testing, I was given the diagnosis paper 30 sheets of it and a ½hr meeting with the psych, teacher, principal, EA and they broke down the steps and stages. I felt like the information session was for the teachers benefit and felt totally outnumbered and overwhelmed. We own our own business and are still not getting paychecks and can't afford to pay for private so we have to rely on OHIP(government medical coverage) which is as minimal as it gets. They don't have a gifted program that I am aware of here. I could look into that tho. I want him to stay with his peers as he rely shines when it comes to the social aspect he has friends....he even has a G7 buddy(he's in my daughters class) who is always including A in his activities and he has told my daughter how funny/awesome A is.

I am the type of person who is A Momma bear when it comes to my kids xcept when it comes to school. I was a straight A student but hated school and was always scared of my teachers...rightfully so they still caned when I went lol. Teachers for some reason still intimidate me due to my own insecurities and it is hard for me to TELL them they are wrong(however small) in anything where they find it so easy to tell me I am doing it all wrong and it hurts. I am not the best mother in the world I know I have made mistakes (we all do) but I do know deep down that I am a good Mom, but around them I feel like they know better, when in reality I do know my son better than they ever could and they just won't listen.
Thanks again hun
