      Asd = autism spectrum disorder


      ADHD = attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
      ADD = attention deficit disorder

      They are different.
      Perhaps bring your child early to Kk hospital, check.

      Some kids may be add, not ADHD.

          Absolutely! The therapist can advise you what to do to better manage your DS. Until now, we are still working at it with my DS.

            Just curious - will any of you tell a SIL that her son may be suffering from ADHD and ask her to bring the boy for an assessment. This may strain the relationship. In the eyes of all parents, their kids are perfect.

              Just curious.
              If my son is confirm ADHD.
              Does he need to declare in future?
              for example job application, does he need to indicate?
              I am worry that he will be judge costing him to face some difficuity in future.

                  Hi


                  I suspect my 8 year old has ADHD. Where to go for diagnosis? Shd go for occupational therapy first? I went to potz last year for assessment and they told me they are not certified to diagnose.

                        nansk:
                        In addition to cutting TV and sweets, you may want to try the other thing jedamum mentioned - Omega-3 fish oil. Buy a good quality brand (with no added sugar) with dosage appropriate for children. We buy Nordic Naturals.

                        Another food that I have read helps kids to calm down and focus, is a little coffee every morning.
                        Also, I read http://www.younglivingsuccess.com/2009/08/essential-oils-for-add-and-adhd.html about essential oils used to massage the feet at bedtime. I bought Cedarwood EO, and Lavender EO from a trusted local supplier, http://www.milagrotrading.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=16&zenid=cc12105bd1268c3f0a8759cd90f00265 and mix it with rice bran oil from NTUC Fairprice (10 drops of each EO for every 60 ml of rice bran oil). Not sure if it really helps, but it cannot harm, right? It definitely aids in getting deep, restful sleep. You may want to try this option.
                        Also, to add, we noticed more focus and readiness to learn after the age of 6. So hang in there; it will get better.
                        Happened to chance upon here and saw the link that nansk mentioned. It given me a hope to try the exact EO that recommended from researchers. Why did I say exact EO because my family have been using this particular brand EOs. Thanks nansk for sharing! :love:
