[quote=jjconcern]I would agree with the comments recommending a second opinion which can be accomplished by another professional looking at all of the former test results and reports and their own observation rather than redoing the assessment,  As a school psychologist trained in neuro-psych testing and a mother of an ADHD son,  I've found that  symptoms of ADHD can be diagnosed by a young age but often accompany other diagnoses and you may need to wait until your child gets older for the diagnosis to become more clear.  Meanwhile providing a structured home environment with good supervision is very important, i.e. regular bedtime and mealtimes. Balance of outdoor play and quiet time, etc.  Physical exercise is beneficial to any ADHD person at any age.   There are many resources available that deal with this issue such as in books or websites.  One I have found very helpful on parenting and working with special needs children is Focus on The Family.com .  I would look for another pediatrician as another comment expressed as there are other ways to express disagreement with an issue than to discount another professionals work and it shows a lack of humility and unwillingness to learn from others on her part.  I would be interested in a follow up as to what you find out in the future about his diagnosis.[/quote]
