[quote=Anonymous]I could have written this post word for word. Someone suggested to me that it was classic inattentive adhd which usually becomes very clear in middle school. We literally had the exact same situation as you describe. We had the testing and received that diagnosis, began vyvanse and now it's a whole new world. Grades are not perfect but it's been a huge improvement. I recommend that you do the same. One thing I can tell you is that your son DOES care, he DOES feel badly and inadequate, and he will be thrilled to know that it's not just "him" and his bad character, but there's an actual medical reason. As my son told me "I'm hoping it is adhd because I know there's something wrong and I want an answer."[/quote]
