[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you, PP. It is possible that he has an undiagnosed attention issue that he’s been able to handle because he is bright. I don’t see many signs (I see more of executive function weakness) but I will consider this. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts in such a positive and encouraging way.[/quote] 08:36 again. Executive function issues are a broad set of problems which include ADHD. While executive function issues are not an official, defined disorder listed in the DSM-V (manual listing all psychiatric disorders recognized by the American Psychiatric Association), ADHD is. This means that your child could very well be diagnosed with ADHD, if he meets certain criteria, and more to the point, he could benefit from the same sort of coaching, behavioral training and possible medication offered to children with ADHD: help with task prioritization, time management and organization, for instance.[/quote]
