[quote=Anonymous]OP, our DS has ADHD and learning disabilities -- the latter only recently diagnosed through a school student study. He has had 3 evaluations -- 2 through school and one through Kennedy-Krieger. On the K-K one and the latest school one, it was impossible to score a valid full IQ for him. Sadly, this does not seem to be unusual in kids with this combo of conditions. I would recommend another evaluation but also some serious medication evaluation. There are a lot of ADHD meds out there. Some work in some kids, some do not. Also, it is entirely possible that the learning disabilities trigger a lot of ADHD-type behaviors - which may be why you see different behaviors at home. Good luck![/quote]
