[quote=Anonymous]We thought our DS had ADHD, but because he got good grades and didn’t have many behavior issues in early elementary school — just an occasional email or note home — we didn’t pursue testing right away. Things changed in 5th grade when he got sent to the principal’s office for starting a food fight, and now 6th grade/middle school has been a mess. He’s been suspended from the bus for a week for misbehavior, had two other referrals for behavior in class, and one for cell phone use. We started medication last week. His grades were still okay before meds, and friendships weren’t really being impacted yet, but we’re glad we started now. Looking back, if we had known earlier, we would have gotten him tested much sooner.[/quote]
