Language issue are not in this criteria which are son has also. He has been getting St since age 1 and still qualifies at 10. I was told to have a mri and ct scan and brain scan by the NP also. No mention of motor skill issues either or balance problems which are son has also. He got ot for a long while also. Helped with that also. See why we don't see his issue just as adhd. oldtimer38916.8479861111He has a adhd dx but the other issues he has don't go along with adhd. I figured that all on my own. The np wants to speak with the psychologist also who gave him the adhd dx. She the Np says adhd isn't a qualification for Se either. I was told ohi covers it by Se. This really has me concerned now. Daniel 's dx to me should fit some ware in asd. This could really mess things up for us  as Far as his schooling goes now. Without a se label he will just quit and never learn anything.
