[quote=Anonymous]my 5yo DS has recently been diagnosed through psycheducational testing with adhd-combined. this comes as no surprise to us, but as i am researching it i do have a question that y'all with more experience might help me better understand. ds always complains of being tired. he falls asleep quickly at night and then usually comes into bed with me at varying times in the night. if i put him back in his room he will be up for the day. if i let him stay he stays asleep until 6:15 or so. after school he likes to crawl into my bed and watch tv until he has to go to speech or ot. on weekends he will easily fall asleep in the car if in it for longer than 15 minutes. everything i know about adhd combo kids is that they are perpetual motion with engines that are hard to slow down. he just isn't like that. at school when pressed with tasks that are too hard or challenging he can't sit still but at home he isnt like that. before we start medicating the adhd i'm trying to get a feel. is this tiredness common in adhd kids or could the tiredness be causing the adhd behavior we are seeing? thanks.[/quote]
