ADHD or high capacity, the adventure of a diagnosis

Posted in Blog Jordi Badia, I LOVE SOMEONE WITH ADHD

The following story is that of a parent whose son was diagnosed ADHD TWICE. Not satisfied and began to search for your account. His research and determination led them in other ways far more hopeful of ADHD. An example of how easy it is now a diagnosis wrong (or two as in this case) and how, when professionals say are more "open" when we begin to truly help our children. The following text is part of the correspondence I had with the father who asked him to leave her post and has agreed in good taste even though the messages are private in nature because as he says literally:
"Only with that one person to realize, even for a rule, be satisfied, if by chance I had read something similar surely things would have gone their separate ways. " Sure it will, thanks Ramon.

OR HIGH CAPACITY, THE ADVENTURE OF A DIAGNOSIS

Hello, my name is Ramon and have two wonderful sons, the eldest of seven years and the girl of two. an odyssey we spent with Ignacio (so called), from first grade to take the drastic decision out of the school where I was and take it to another. The reason was that when he started the first quarter started the problems of neglect and low self-esteem, seeing that the school rejected him and did nothing for him we decided to remove it. We begin our safari

particularly psychiatrists, psychologists, neurologists etc ... we ended up like everyone else, disoriented, with less euros in my pocket, no solutions and the child getting worse, yes, diagnosed with ADHD each payment in cash and that the others are not worth ..... Ignacio was prescribed methylphenidate famous (damn name) a drug which distrust from the beginning. Ignacio change and seemed to be better, but his behavior problems are greatly exacerbated to the point of passing of being a friendly and cordial to being rejected by others for violent and irritable. We decided to cut off his medication and have been in contact now with a clinical psychologist who is against medication and it seems that once again gives us (and others) a thread of hope.
.............

Last Thursday we went to visit again the clinical psychologist, is the third session we do with it (the first was an interview with us, the second to Ignacio, the other day he started working with him), ruled according to their criterion (as you said) the acronym ADHD or any other condition of this type. He says he will begin to study the behavior instrumental for he says that she will be there, is nothing to do handedness, correct use of vision, hearing ... bone more or less what I'm seeing lately in blogs and web pages. When you have a clear diagnosis of what he believes happens will tell us the guidelines to follow.

We also have an appointment with optometrist Ignacio Madrid, called Rosa M. García Hernández.
................

We have heard from Crispulo Toledano Bottle is the name of the psychologist who has been visiting Ignacio, has given us an answer somewhat difficult to explain to us but very reasonable and that explains why many things that we have observed in the child since birth, we spoke with her teacher and has coincided with us, many behaviors that have now seen a foundation. For my part I started to inform me (via Internet) and adjusted to the nearest millimeter the symptoms we have always seen.

two factors are given:

disorder has a very typical, normal, common learning literacy is not as technically called, although I repeated it two hundred times, but after all it has not systematized the recognition of letters, he reads a word and not unconsciously recognizes phonemes, instead of writing has to draw the letters one by one and not as a group, the strange thing is that no child with poor learning (sometimes none said with emphasis) learn to read, therefore the process is for the adults and we realize that time is fixed and continues forward from its normal path. This explains his bad handwriting, shaky and no uniform size, lack of spatiality in paper, their lack of interest in serving on the board and its refusal to copy anything or just write. You say, you say no and Ignacio read correctly. And they are right, the funny thing is that it reads well, has a huge reading ability (I tell a joke that is studied rather than read the books) and loves it. This is the second factor, level of reasoning (what we call intelligence in general computing) is very high, Crispulo would not use the word gifted by saying that carries many stereotypes, but that a medium-high level in the gifted, so it is the only child with this disorder who knows in 40 years in the profession that (exact words) "not as Pussy or because road has learned to read with this disorder. "

In echo to have that ability to reason Ignacio gets absorbed in class and passes through inattentive and bored by it directly as a single explanation has captured the concepts, no need even to study all the problems you have, have and will come inattention to be more intelligent than normal (what a paradox) the great wall that we found is that this has no solution as they would have adapt the system to Ignacio, because from what I read, Ignacio not fit the system never speak of a 47% rate of failure and dropout gifted children. so far is well at school, last year ended with a remarkable average score but cost us blood and sweat to us (especially to a mother, I take my hat) and his teacher knew to wear it. At last we are as always, have a cause, but not a solution, there is hope that the same maturity is corrected and unconsciously learn to recognize letters and solve the problems of writing, for it will make the psychologist a periodical each two months and if it is necessary to act and deal with some type of therapy. But this does not solve the inattentive remains (apparently) and have problems inconpatibilidad between social-emotional age and level of thinking. We are

doubt that many do not know how to solve everyday problems, for example today brought to task to study a topic of environmental knowledge and translate it into a tab, and then five star multiplication and five divisions, well to do that has been four hours, the subject has not come even to read it with the explanation in class and had enough, the difficulty has been at the time of writing, and accounts ...... despite knowing the results flawless as usual, has to be done in writing. He thinks it's a lack of time and energy, and says so, write what you know, so ....

Think of this situation, it serves to be smart.

On the other hand, it is incredible that a child with these parameters is diagnosed with ADHD by professionals;

The first thing I saw was the school, that he said he was surprised that a child who is almost perfect to the test and used the lexicon as broad as those notebooks could make nefactos, disorganized, and most days just started. We came to say ... What do we do with it?

Before the first quarter of first grade the school decided to remove it and put it where you are now (the child was sad, self-esteem, and begin to isolate themselves) to me was the hardest decision I had to take, had at school from three years, not as I will be affected or Ignacio but we drew and we loaded it to us. In this new school have the support of teachers, but can not be overturned, but as we just lost.

then took him to a child spiquiatra sent us a psychological cabinet to make a scan, the results were that I was a little immature, but he had a high IQ, they were surprised by the amount of vocabulary used. We went back and told us spiquiatra had nothing to do ... and for another doctor if he is doing his job, did not review the evidence or is that only exist in the world of ADHD and bipolar.

then to another facility psychology on the advice of his teacher, then after 350 € and two sessions tell us that the child has ADHD, but thanks to his level of thinking way above the average has been masked to some extent you have to ask behavioral therapy to € 195 a month. When we did not improve and also suspected that we were cheating we took the child from his famous therapies.

His pediatrician (Neuropaediatrician) when you count the results began with the begging, which I take it for a year and two quarters, Ignacio was unrecognizable at the end of this last school year, too much irritation, aggressive, rebellious, alien ... . tube boxes tics. We decided to cut it off, month and again the same.

In her new school guidance counselor with the best of intentions, after observing and send questionnaires to their profession and we said we could be an Asperger. Another stupidity.

And so three years .........

After passing by three psychologists, a neurologist siquitatra and none could suspect that it was another thing, what I say a real safari.

Yesterday we were in the office of Rosa Garcia, the optometrist told you. We left quite satisfied, identified several visual problems in Ignacio, and others still being good at everything, his left eye is dominant.

ONE MONTH AFTER ...

Ignacio let you know that everything goes smoothly, we are finally in calm water after such a long journey that we did not carry anything. The fact has helped us understand putting them on his shoe, he is helping to guide us and teaching us more than what many professionals have done, and fairly quiet lately at school think this better. For our part we left more on their own, and we relaxed a lot, do not give much importance to things that do not, and do not care much for their notebooks, papers and other ..... paradoxically gradually noticed that what gets better and costs less to do so. Now we get to the library of the order eight books every 15 days, the swallows, this learning types, and each may feel more time to practice piano. These are the activities you enjoy and we let them do almost at will, yes always subject to implementation tasks. Our big mistake was to be always worried and slopes above it and not let it take its pace, we were dazzled with the recommendations of others and obsessed with finding a solution to the alleged problem. For our part we have been in contact with the association of parents of high capacity, for us it was a place where we have understood, mainly because we were all talking the same language, they exposed us their cases and described to his children and I thought they were talking about Ignacio, many behaviors and skills are literally Ignacio features. As commentary and anecdotes to any gifted child likes football, is coming almost to hate him, I was something that did not surprise me because I do not like.

Funny the difference with the association of ADHD, as here are not involved professionals (doctors, laboratories), is not institutionalized, it's like a blog in the flesh, is seeking solutions from the experience, the final it comes to sharing the day to day for each family.

I can not quite talk case as I've had two experiences uncomfortable and almost unpleasant, a professor with musical language and the other with the guidance of the school, in the end I'm an arrogant and pretentious, I just believe that whoever listens to me think "how it will be your gifted child with the letter you have, you are a conceited fool, and your son, "I do not know, the course of the conversation, faces, expressions ... is difficult to explain given the stereotype of the gifted, to understand. But this is what we have had, is not a problem, the problem is the other, one could say that is a gift and I believe I simply have to learn to channel it.

other hand we have the valuation of Rosa, Ignatius actually impaired and this affects their attention, we are now daily in therapy to correct them, but I'll tell more of this, the better you send it and see for yourself as well as delivery reports.

pedistes Once I publish my case in the blog, because now I am asking you to post it, and of course the result of the entire journey. Only one person to realize even for rule be satisfied, if by chance I had read something similar surely things would have gone their separate ways.

Anyway I was lucky to come across blog like yours, that of Rosina Uriarte and others ... All this made me recap and change of strategy. Of course nothing would have changed had it not been for Crispulo (the psychologist) that will change of course and taught us what we already had, is the only thing that I can not comfort, not having realized it before the data we've had since forever.

It's funny how in such a short time we have gone from a road with bumps and curves at least one that is marked and well-paved, I can say right now (I've taken from you) "I love someone who had ADHD ". Father Ignacio
