[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At that age, DS's symptoms were very similar except in addition to everything you listed, he could only follow one step directions. At age 5 he was diagnosed with severe ADHD. Medication has made a world of difference. It basically enabled him to access coping mechanisms he previously couldn't. He is also currently in OT and it seems to be helping his sensory seeking behavior. If you do look into the possibility of ADHD, definitely describe the symptoms as you do here. It distinguishes from same age peer tantrum behavior and activity level. [/quote] Op here, thank you. I assume we are headed for an ADHD diagnosis, but they don’t diagnose it at 3, right? Do you know of any other resources we can get at this age? Does OT help? I assume medication is not prescribed until later. Are there any books you recommend? We feel so lost![/quote]
