ADHD

[Guest guest]

Hi again,

I have two boys, , 7 diagnosed with ASD and Cameron, 5. Cameron

has never been diagnosed with anything but he has some behavioural

issues and his school teacher calls me once a week. We've gone around

different psychologists here in Singapore with conflicting opinions

about him, from autsim, dyspraxia to dyslexia and sensory

integration disorder. Services are still developing here. I have

decided not to listen to any of them and just to listen with my eyes

and my heart. He has low muscle tone and sees an OT once a week. I

also engaged a speech therapist to help him with his articulation.

However, as I sat in Dr Masgutova's seminar two weeks ago, she

mentioned something interesting, that many children with ADD are

thought to have dyslexia. I had settled on the " fact " that he might

have dyslexia.

As I thought it through, I now suspect he has ADD or ADHD. It does

not matter to me whether he has an official label, I would just like

to help him accordingly. Now that I read up more about ADHD, I think

that I might have it too!

Anyway, I am digressing, I would like to hear from parents of

children with ADHD and how reflex integration has helped their

children. There are days when I just feel like I don't understand my

younger son at all and it is not a good place to be in, for the two

of us.

Thank you.
