[Guest guest]

-- HI Ken , well you named the main things of ADD ,My son is going

to have to see a (shrink ) and they are they Doctors that prescribe

the medicine unless your ped's will In my case the Dr. wont . We are

set up for an appointment for Feb 14th at 1:00 . I cannot wait he

is driving me crazy, he won't focus in school and wants to jump

ahead of the class on answering all the questions first , He has

been getting in alot of trouble their,we have already been in a Rip

program which is a behavior program and that lasted a year and I try

to use all the techniques that they do but nothing seems to work .

We do use a timer with corner time but he cries and yells and

doesn't want to stand their for his five minutes , Spanking is for

the birds her just laughs at me and tells me he hates me, I have

been very stressed out with him but you gotta love em ... Well let

me know if this was any help and write back and let me know how

things are going !! Talk to you soon 's s

Disorder...

Hi ,

I checked out the web sites below. seems to have only 2 or 3 of

those characteristics. However, on a web page I just found that lists

9 characterisics of ADD, he solidly has 8 of them. If I were to ask

you to describe my son, you could use the ADD list and be 90%

accurate.

However, we are trying to schedule a doctors appointment and we will

certainly bring up CAPD as a possibility.

Thanks for the tip.

Hi ,

Yes that helps. However, is a very quiet, shy boy. His problem

lie mainly in foscusing on tasks and avoiding homework etc. He is

very patient.

Thanks for the info. It was helpful.
