[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anecdotal story here but my son has the same profile as yours - sensory diagnosis, all of the things you said. Now he's a 16 year old boy who was diagnosed with ADHD at 11, medication has been a life saver for him.[/quote] How's he doing now? Just not sure what any of this might mean, or [b]if his ability to be a 'perfect student' during sports etc is relevant.[/b] He's also doing very well on the spelling tests etc so I'm not sure about her comment about his work not reflecting his ability - he's never been good at comprehension (though he can read), but in K we were told that was age appropriate. Thanks for any thoughts! - OP[/quote] Kids with ADHD can focus on some high interest tasks -- it is the inability to maintain focus consistently that is the issue. How is he doing socially? Does he have friends outside school or sports teams? Is he sought out by others? [/quote]
