[quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry OP. Its great that you're getting therapy at such an early age! I also concur with others that he's too young to really diagnose with full certainty. Keep doing the therapy and consider another evaluation later with a different practitioner. More eyes is better.

fwiw, our son was diagnosed with severe adhd when he was a very young 3 by a very well respected dev. ped. We were expecting to be dealing with special needs schools, medication,etc, by the time he was 5. When DS was 4, he was re-evaluated by the same dev ped who said that in fact he had been incorrect and that DS's issues, while there, were mild to maybe moderate and that he was flourishing in main stream school (which was nice because I had doubted the dx myself, but I was no expert....). DS definitely has challenges--visual motor processing, mild dyspraxia, attention and sensory issues--but we felt SO down when we first got the dx and we do not feel that way now. We realized later that DS would continue to grow and change and there was so much we could do and that a dx at early 3 is not necessarily a sentence for life. [/quote]
