You should get him evaluated, but there are other things you can do for him, too. Make sure you spend a lot of time with him. If he is not speaking as he should, get books that label items and look at them with him. Point out the items and speak the words. Get a book about something he is really interested in and read it with him. If he likes trucks, get books about trucks, books with lots of different types of trucks, etc., and help him to develop his language with all of these things. Talk to him, often. Make sure to model good language patterns to him. If he says something that is not correct english, or does not make sense, politely repeat it the right way, or say, "Did you say you want a popsicle?" (Maybe he said, "I want popsy". Don't demean him, but HELP him. Engage in a lot of talking with him, spend time with him. Turn the television off. Turn the video games off. Turn the computer off, except for a reward for some things you need to see him do: studying, chores, cooperating, etc. Get lots of books and make sure you are with him and read them WITH AND TO him, and make sure they are books and subjects he will enjoy. Get projects involving things he is interested in and engage his hands in this manner.

Regarding writing, lots of ADHD kids don't like to write. It sometimes seems that writing takes too much time for them. My son did not like to hold the pencil quite the way it should have been held, either. They often have poor handwriting due to lack of interest, or hurrying, so he may feel a little bit bad about that. Help him practice his letters. Find a way to reward him for a good job. Don't make the lessons too long. But a good reward for progress may help encourage him. If you can't find a good book for writing his letters, make one, yourself. You and he can do this together. Children with ADHD don't want to take the time to do things they don't like to do. It is either annoying to them or they just find it pretty hard to concentrate. That may be why he will type on the computer, but not answer questions, if you are referring to questions for a class paper, etc.

Again, ADHD kids also seem to have problems with separation, but sometimes it may be more of a problem when the are a bit younger. Maybe you could make the times you leave him somewhere short, at first, and then longer. Bring something along where he will be that he loves to do. Something he can't resist. Make sure you are not leaving him with someone he is not comfortable staying with. If he can be left with some people, but not others, you need to find out why. Ask him why he does not want to be left with a certain person. Then listen, if it is only one or two people. If it is everyone, then he will need to get used to this.

Then, cut out sugary things, cut out wheat products as well as peanut products. Google: Candida and ADHD, Food Sensitivities and ADHD. Look up the book called, "Allergies and the Hyperactive Child", by Dr. Doris Rapp. Used online booksites.

Check this out and see if it helps you with answers. You should definitely take him to a mental health doctor for testing. He may not even have ADHD. Teachers don't always know as they are not doctors.

Get an appointment with your pediatrician (let him know concerns ahead of time so you have time to talk it through)...he will be able to recommend a neurologist or other specialist for further evaluation.

Also...contact your local school district for a developmental screening.

There is a web site...autismspeaks.org...that has information about autism and support that are available...good luck

have him evaluated for autism. he has some signs of it. only a physician would know for sure. my nephew has a few of your son's symptoms and he was diagnosed with autism. i know that you can have varying degrees of it. you can look up autism on wikipedia.com also.

The techniques found in this article really helped my son, who was experiencing the same problems.
