[quote=Anonymous]OP, I just responded to your dev ped question--the one whose DS was diagnosed with ADHD at 5--but hadn't read your post from yesterday. I think you already know that a dev ped is where you need to go, but I just wanted to throw out there that your DS may have anxiety issues (particularly in the settings you describe) and they are manifesting in this way. Anxiety and ADHD often go together, although he could be dealing with anxiety without ADHD and his anxiety just manifests in this way. My DS has both, and his ADHD-type behavior significantly ramps up when he is anxious (and he is often appears happy or to enjoy these situations). The jumping around, acting over-the-top silly (beyond just acting like a little boy), stomping his feet all around, making weird faces, unable to control his hands/body, running into his friends, etc. all ramp up a bunch when he's anxious. Just something else to consider.[/quote]
