I think Philip and Thomas both have ADHD (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ).
Thomas has taken the tests and we will receive the results on Friday. Philip must also take the tests. I'm reading a book called, "Delivered from Distraction". In fact, I can not put the book down. I was up until 2am reading it. I'm exhausted. I would have stayed up all night to finish it, but I have responsibilities. I'm sure ADHD is not the only problem Philip has. He may also have an Auditory processing disorder or dyslexia. It all sounds awful, but living with kids with undiagnosed special needs is really the awful part. ADHD, APD, and Dyslexia can all be treated. It is stressful to see your child struggle to learn, and struggle to make friends. Knowing what is wrong can be so helpful. Now if they do have ADHD it means computer time and TV time need to go bye bye! It also means a special diet that does not include chocolate (Nutella is Thomas' favorite food). Not fun!!!God bless us and be with us!
They say ADHD kids have a race car brain. They are driven fast and hard with out the power to put on the breaks. I hope we can find the right help, so they don't crash and burn! If we can help them, they could really be "high performers"!
