[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS keeps getting in trouble at school because he's lacking social skills with peers and adults - the school counselor thinks he's not picking up on social cues well.  One more time getting in trouble and I suspect he'll be suspended from school.  Clearly what we're doing at home is not working and we need help.  Can anyone recommend a class, psychologist, or a group that can help?  I'm beyond frustrated at this point.  Thank you so much.[/quote]

OP you posted on the older kids forum. I'm going to reiterate. as the mother if an eight year son with ADHD, you need to find a neuropsychologist first. All of this will fall into place with an evaluation. A good neuropsychologist is unlikely to diagnose your son with something he doesn't have. There is no risk and it will keep you from spinning your wheels (and spending your $$) on things that may not be first priority. Good luck. [/quote]

OP here.  Thank you to PP for pointing out where my previous post went - I'm new to this forum and apparently I posted it on the wrong forum, then it disappeared and I had no idea where it went.  I just assumed it was deleted.  I guess it was more appropriate to post there, so I'll go there with this issue then.  Thank you everyone so much for your comments![/quote]
