[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, 16:07 here. It sounds like you and your son had a rough day yesterday. Hang in there.

It does sound like your son is struggling, aware of it and frustrated by it. For me this would be a sign to follow up with professionals and figure out what is up particularly based on what his teacher has indicated earlier. Also, I read the SENG sheet on gifted vs. ADHD (which helped me a lot) and not recognizing the behavior is a sign. What you describe could be a sign. Hopefully someone with a child with ADHD will post for you.

After reading your first post, I talked with our DS about how his mind works. He admitted to having lots of things going on in there at one time. So I told him that if the racing thoughts in his head ever start to bother him, to let me know. Because there was no diagnosis of ADD/ADHD 30 years ago, I watched my own family members who seem like they are ADD or ADHD self-medicate with alcohol, drugs, etc as they've gotten older and I want to watch out for that.

So, go ahead and get an evaluation and see if you can get some answers.  Good luck.[/quote]
