[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never refer to a kid with ADHD as having "special needs."[/quote] If it’s very severe, ADHD can initially present as almost high-functioning ASD. One of my charges is impulsive, zero attention span on most topics, destructive at times, violent at times, near zero social skills. Without medication, multiple fidgets, muscle memory drills that are close to becoming unconscious, he can’t function in a classroom, and even with them, it’s painfully obvious to the teachers and other kids that as much as he struggles, his behavior will never be “normal.”[/quote]
