[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you know it's not impulsivity related to ADHD?[/quote] He's been evaluated for ADHD and taken tests to measure his IQ etc. he's been identified as gifted but no other issues. He doesn't have these issues in public. He doesn't just tickle strangers. This is school specific. [/quote] Be careful with that. If your child was very young at the time of the eval, or the eval was done by someone other than a very experienced psychologist or developmental pediatrician specialized in ADHD, it's quite likely they missed it. My son was evaluated at 5 by an experienced professional and was only given a tentative diagnosis - fast forward 5 years, after a terrible time in school, etc, and it turns out he has SEVERE inattentive ADHD, which is much more in keeping with his behavior.[/quote]
