[quote=Anonymous]I'm one of the PPs above who posted about DS with high verbal and low processing scores -- PP suggested ADHD and yes, I wanted to confirm that DS was diagnosed with ADHD.  Stimulant meds definitely helped the processing speed but were not a long-term solution due to the side effects of weight loss and sleep issues.

I am now trying to figure out strategies for MS situation where the child will have a personal laptop to use to help with executive function and processing (all kids will have them).  I'm sure that the laptop can be assistive in many ways.

Also I am sure that my DS was sometimes bored in elementary school while also overwhelmed with processing at the same time-- to me that is the perfect storm for goofing around in class... I'm hopeful that the next school will "feed" him more intellectually which I think could help him stay on task better.  To top it all off, DS is most likely gay. We don't know for sure, of course, but the signs are all there.  I think subconsciously he spends a lot of processing capacity that could be spent on say... math!... and instead spends it on figuring out how to best fit in and not outing himself as different than other boys.  Sometimes I'm surprised DS learned anything at all this year. [/quote]
