[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP - I've raised two kids with ADHD-inattentive.  You are not going to want to hear this but our daughter sounds exactly what you posted (down to even taking hours to take a shower)  got misdiagnosed ("exec functioning disorder" "slow processing" "ADHD-inattentive" "Depression" "Generalized Anxiety disorder) at least four times.  We didn't find out until she was 16 that she actually had Asperger's/now "on the spectrum".   As an adult, it is very obvious now that she has Asperger's.  I wish I had received correct testing results early on so I could have provided more intervention but we followed what the pediatrician ("perfectly NT - no issues"), private schools, five testers, three shrinks and two therapists told us.  We started therapy and testing at four an no one got it right until age 16.  I wish  you only the best of luck and want to remind you to keep retesting every three years.  [/quote]

[b]What did the aspergers intervention do that the ADHD inattentive intervention did not do? To me they seem very similar and would take similar intervention to help both types of children.[/quote][/b]

Speech lessons; extra focus on composition for writing; eye control; mindfulness training (didn't exist when we were going thru the process); social behavior training to help with making and retaining friends; vitamin D checkups; early intervention on the delayed pottytraining, GERD, colon issues, fecalomas.  That's just off the top of my head.[/quote]
