[quote=Anonymous]My child fits this profile. I second getting a full NP decal. Processing speed, ADHD, anxiety, and executive functioning are often mixed up together in more simple evaluations. Peer relationships have been the hardest as well as siblings. My younger child is much quicker and less patient. I strongly suggest you read Elken Beaaten's book Bright Kids Who Can't Catch Up. She has some online lectures I found helpful. One of the best things you can teach your child is to advocate for him or herself ("please give me a minute to think). Ask the teacher for extra wait time in class and not just in examinations (here's your question, I'll come back to you in a minute) I've accepted that my child probably won't be an emergency room physician, but there are different specialties in any career (oncologist or pathologist rather than ER physician, etc)[/quote]
