..He is near genius level IQ like most people with ADHD, and its just that he cannot seem to pay attn in school, and his Dr. is thinking that he falls in the 20% of people who's ADHD is not controlled by meds.
hi holli,
i just reread your post again, pondering over what you said about your son's doctor's opinion that the meds your son had been on were ineffective.....
i have another thought. i cannot say, of course, whether or not your son has add. if he does then it should be treated by all means. but, i was thinking that, perhaps, your son is simply too advanced for his classes. it is known that if a child is very intelligent, in your son's case near genius level, then he would have problems paying attention in class because he is bored. a class that doesn't really teach him anything can't stimulate him. i wonder what would happen if he were allowed to jump ahead a grade or two. i don't know of that would pose new social problems, but he might be more attentive if his mind was challenged. he sounds like a very bright young man. you must be very proud of him!
just a thought. please, still keep me posted.
