anyone have a child with ADHD?

[claire1978]

Hi all,

I have 4 children and one of my sons (3rd child) behaves very differently to the others and has always been more 'challenging'. Is there anyone that has experienced this and could tell me how their child reacts just so i can see if any similarities, i havent spoken to my hubby about this yet as hes not in. Thanks in advance

My son is suspected of ADHD, but also has autism, but I'll try to answer.

This might help https://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder/Pages/Symptoms.aspx it has all the symptoms and I think your child needs to tick 6 of each to qualify, but I can't remember.

Basically Sam, my son, is always on the go, he is really hyper, he literally is always talking and moving. He has no concentration and it's really just exhausting watching him lol. My son displays all of the symptoms on that list, all of the time and all the professionals other than his consultant have said ADHD, his consultant said defiantly autism but ADHD will need more investigations. So who knows. Hope that helps?
