[quote=Anonymous]You have a right to be annoyed at your stepmother for interfering in a know-it-all manner; but you should also consider her position on its own merits.

One way of thinking about it is that ADHD also means poor emotional control. So discussing the matter with a psychologist could actually help you navigate your child's emotional immaturity and give you tools to stave off melt-downs and increase communication. For example, having a set routine, more structure and boundaries is extremely helpful and reassuring for the child!

My son was diagnosed with ADD at 5, after years of being labeled socially immature - now we suspect he actually has High-functioning autism, with perhaps ADD thrown in. The 2 biggest hurdles he has to face at 8 right now are executive functioning (he is very slow/disorganized) and social awareness (making/keeping friends). This is to tell you that labels are fluid and overlap, and you can look at the same set of issues from different standpoints to gain a better understanding of them.
