Very interesting diagnosis of my son at a young age. My not have proven to be accurate as he grew. However, one diagnosis was at least very predictive if not accurate, and possibly difficult to ascertain.

Was unable to assess child's IQ because "his brain was too scattered". Yet, there was vehement denial of the possibility of a spectrum disorder.

After displaying a pattern of neurodivergent behavior over many years, a full neuropsych evaluation is finally in process.
