[quote=Anonymous] DS was diagnosed "tentatively" when he was 6, when he was exhibiting a ton of severe symptoms. However, he focused just enough for the test the doctor gave him, and therefore the doctor could not be sure about the diagnosis. Then at 10, he was given a more in-depth evaluation at Stixrud's, and was diagnosed with moderate to severe ADHD. That fit our observations so much better! He started meds at 10 and his life changed completely. We regretted waiting that long to re-test him... but my husband was very reluctant to revisit the subject. He wanted to believe the first doctor. So you'll have to be patient, OP, and plan to retest your son in a few years, with a more through evaluation. [/quote]
