ADHD
My son was recently tested for altisum, but they found signs of ADHD so now im waiting on reports that will take 2 months before I get them,iv been told to look for peaditricans that specialises in ADHD that's like looking for a diamond either the answer is no ,or the current wait list is 12 months for now im sticking with his old one ,til I find someone else
Iv been told There is no cure ( oh haha I have epilepsy there is no cure only medication to manage it ) im fine with him being on medication
If it helps
I think what will be good to is all the sports I have now lined up swimming, gymnastics,soccer
To keep him busy and hopefully tire him out
The biggest challenge Is at school
With not sitting still
The kissing people ,the spit bubbles and touching has become a issue ,he does it to,
To me at home and I find it quite suffercating at times
My OT has given some great ideas to both me and his teachers
How do you cope?
Are you coping .....
My daughter was first diagnosed with ADHD, and then autism and recently anxiety disorder. She takes medicine for her ADHD and has an IEP for her autism. If you are in the US, you should be able to get at least a 504 plan at school. We had one til the autism diagnosis then changed it to the IEP. Hopefully, that will help a little.
