It’s
a beautiful Indian summer day.
Crisp
cool air in the morning that gives way to warm shirtsleeve weather
as the day progresses. The trees are giving just a hint of the brilliant
colors their leaves will show in just another week or two.
Wearily, you plop yourself down in a kitchen chair after hanging
up the phone. You lay your head down on the table and try as you
might you just can’t stop the flood of tears.
Once the sobbing begins to subside, you begin to process the words
you just heard. His teacher has just labeled your son, the child
of your heart, “incorrigible”. This is the third such
call in as many weeks and school has just begun!
This time
the threat was very real. Either there are some rapid changes or
he will be suspended permanently! The teacher even had the audacity
to suggest you contact your pediatrician!
Reluctantly,
you consider the escalating situation at school and make the decision
to take him in for a checkup. With a heavy heart you walk to the
phone and call the pediatrician. Luckily, she has had a cancellation
and you can get him in the next day.
Does
this sound familiar?

The same scenario
is played out over and over again in various degrees every day.
No particular country or socio-economic level are immune.

diagnosed in children and that it occurs in young boys more often than
girls.
If you are
concerned that you, your child or another loved one may have this disorder,
you owe it to yourself to get the answers you need.
