Couple of sites that may help...
These sites are interesting, especially if your child suffers from allergies. One is 50 conditions that mimic ADHD: http://adhdparentssupportgroup.homestead.com/50conditionsmim icingADHD~ns4.html
The other is ADHD symptoms caused by allergies: http://borntoexplore.org/allergies.htm
My son has a lot of the symptoms that can be caused by his allergies so we are also exploring that option with his doctor.
thank you so much....since my daughter has not yet been tested for add...this will help us rule out so much...my daughter has allergies and couldn't have milk or soy as a baby

I hope it helps. I've learned a lot about the similarities between allergy and adhd symptoms.
I'll try anything that keeps my son off another medication. C-II drugs are going to be a last resort.
This is why I chose not to medicate my son. He's likely to have 5-6 ADHD mimickers.. as I had suspected from the beginning. It's funny, when my son was dx with ADHD, the psychologist didn't say he HAD ADHD. She said he had ADHD-like characteristics. What the heck does that mean? I think I knew THAT..
Has anyone had problems with their child hitting at school? My son has been really bad the last 2 weeks. He doesn't have anyone to play with at home, and I'm wondering if that's part of the problem that he doesn't know how to interact with the other kids, because he gets so excited when playing with other kids.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what to do about it.
