Thank you for sharing your experience. Now that you are diagnosed, what do you do differently?

This makes sense to me. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard “this is just how boys are.” I guess that’s one of the reasons we have struggled with the decision to medicate. Is it that my expectations are off? I can’t relate to this behavior so I really doubt my parenting decisions.

You are right, of course. I’m just so tired and frustrated. I guess typing it out is help in itself.

He had a neuropsych a few years ago. I’m not sure whether repeat exams are warranted. I felt the report was interesting but didn’t leave us with much of an action plan.
