Guest guest Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 my 11 year old son was diagnosed with ADHD A FEW years ago however the more I watch him and talk to others I think it may not be adhd at all but his symptoms are more similar to aspergers. He doesnt like being around crowds middle school has been very hard he is unorganized. He does not make eye contact, he will just suddenly start rubbing the side of his heaD. or hitting his chest. he has put sores all over his face picking at it. He makes these sudden loud outburst daily. eveything is taken very seriously. he is failing all of his classes His meap and IQ test tested above average. Again his test scores do not match what he is doing on his daily work. He has no confidence although he is very smart and beautiful. When having a conversation with him, most of the time it's like talking to another adult or at least an older teenager, other times hes more like other 11 yearsold and sometimes its like talking to someone much younger. I know from conversations with him that he is capablecof so much more. he still has not learned to tie his shoes, he rode his bike only a few years ago and proper hygeine is very hard to get him to do(brushing teeth, deodrant, using soap when showering, and even changing his clothes) He will often even have trouble buttoning and zipping his pants I have given up on putting belts on him. I am not surer what is going on. All nI know is that it hurts so bad that he thinks so little of himself. He has no friends and has very violent outburst at his sister. Loud noise bothers him if his sister even makes a sound he will start screaming and yelling at her please any advice would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
