Funny ADHD moments, come on yall! | ADHD Information
OK, like, it's been a really long day here.
So, like, I took my son in for his Dore evaluation, they were very thorough, by the way and I was not dissappointed. One test the therapist said she would say two numbers, and he was to repeat them back, backwards. OK, so she said, for example " two, nine" and he repeats back.........this was the crackup.......
owt, enin. The therapist and I looked at each other like, WHAT???????
Then, they repeated the same thing over again, and kiddo still said "owt, enin."
He had a bit of trouble pronouncing NINE backwards. LOL, LOL, LOL!!!
I love my kiddo.
thanks for sharing that moment with us because i had to laugh and it really felt great

makes perfect sense to me! i would have probably done exactly the same thing. why can't people be more CLEAR in their directions?????????????????????
it drives me nuts!
what a lovely kid!
I probably have told this before, but here goes:
Ds was in 2ndgrade and had misbehaved during lunch. He was sent to the principal's office and they called me. I came in and sat down in one of the chairs opposite her desk. His 2nd grade teacher (who had known him since he was 3) sat in the other. Pat came in and the principal told him this was serious business and what we he do if his dad was sitting in the other chair? Pat looked around the entire office and turned back to principal, shrugged his shoulders and asked "stand?"
My son has informed us that he is now the most popular kid in school. Believe me he isn't, but I'm glad he feels that he is fitting in. When my husband asked him how he knows that, he said you have to look at the facts and figures and computations. We asked him how to check them and he said we can't because they are all inside his brain!
I'm still cracking up, but yes, kiddo does follow directions a bit differently than the norm.
Lillian, it seems your guy was being very literal also. That's how I take tests too. Dude, I JUST SEE STUPID DOTS!!!
Bring on the funny stories!! But, I don't mean to laugh at our kids' expense. No, really I don't. But, sometimes they are just so cute!!!!
That's hysterical! My son took an ink-dot test when he was in third grade, and he had to tell the evaluator what he saw when he looked at the dots. The evaluator had to discontinue the test because my son kept replying, "Not much," "Dots," and "Is that suppose to look like something?"

Now that is one smart kid! He was repeating them backwards just like she said. He took her literally though.
I love it!!!! Can't they be so much fun?! Keep them coming, I need this right now.This is for notright. She says she needs this right now. Ds has been struggling in Pre-algebra. It's the last class of the day and his meds are wearing off. Anyway, the teacher hands him his paper back and says "Patrick, this is great work! You made and 85!" Patrick looks shocked and says "It's a sign of the pending apocalypse!"
A couple of weeks ago, DS (7) was walking to the dining room table when he suddenly exploded into a whirlwind of limbs and ended up under his chair. Nothing in his way that I could see.
I was amazed, and said, "How did you do that?"
Without missing a beat, he replied, "A magician never reveals his secret."
my ds was very sick and in the hospital when he was 4 years old...they did IVs and blood test several times a day...ds was very good and cooperated but did not like this one bit...finally on the third day he see the tec come in the room and throws the sheet over his head and Announces......THE BLOOD IS CLOSED
now getting any blood test from this kid is a major deal we have to tell him its just a flu shot
