[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The non-helpful responses of "my adhd kid has not gotten in behavior trouble once ever in their entire lives" reminds me that I wish the DSM would separate ADHD and ADD.  If your kid has never gotten in behavioral trouble once ever, it means by definition their ADHD is only ADD.  And honestly, plain old ADD looks about as similar to my ADHD DS as, say, anorexia. That is to mean, not similar at all.  I personally don't think ADD and ADHD are the same disorders at all. [/quote]

I have two kids with ADHD combined. Both hyperactive but one the less impulse control. That one got into trouble regularly at school for poor behavior until we got the medication right. Whenever DD was getting into trouble we looked at meds again, or did some focused therapy. Things have been stable for about 6 months now, but DD hasn’t gone to the principle’s office for almost 2 years.

The other one holds it together at school but is a wreck at home. They also have anxiety which means they don’t want to get into trouble at school, so can mostly it together, so never grtdbin trouble. At home, they let it all out. I know DD is likely under-medicated  because she wasn’t always this way at home, but we are at the top of her medication dose (would have to try other stimulants) so if things are ok at school, we will deal with the behaviors at home.

Each ADHD child is different- ridiculous to say all kids with ADHd get into trouble at school. [/quote]
