School has just suggested that ds has some add/adhd traits, which they are considering how to manage in the classroom. Given that he's in Y6 I rather wish they had raised this before. I would appreciate any advice on how to explain this to him, from anyone who has gone for a formal diagnosis - was it useful, or could you have gone it alone. I am a bit wary of giving him a "label" when he just about to embark on High School.
When they mentioned it I felt like a light had been switched on, but he is not that bad, and it seems that we are already doing many of the kinds of things considered necessary to manage such a condition. It never occurred to me that this was anything other than him being himself. He has lots of friends and outside interests but is a bit of a pain in class.
Wordsnof wisdom, anyone?
