[quote=Anonymous]Just had my son officially diagnosed today. He just turned 11 and is in 5th grade but we have suspected since kindergarten. We adopted a wait and see attitude too because his grades were good and he had friends and was doing well. The turning point for me was when he began getting frustrated at himself for being "a bad kid" or being "dumb" when he couldn't seem to stay focused during his teacher talking at school. Felt like he couldn't please his teachers because they were always telling him to focus. He began acting out more at home after keeping himself on top of things all day at school. Performing like an underachiever when basically he was putting in the effort of an overachiever. [/quote]
