We are getting custody of my 9 year old step-son. He has ADHD and it's bad! I am going to get him to doctors here in my area and have him re-evaluated. I think there is more there than the ADHD (so does my hubby), but I am not going to say anything to the drs...it's their job to diag him.
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!

Just know, as a kid who was told she was not ADD who is not an adult who is, you are saving him much pain and low self esteem!

It means a lot to hear from you that we are doing right by him. He deserves the best and I will stop at nothing to get him that.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
