Common Questions and Answers about Adhd symptoms dyslexia

adhd

Avatar n tn Im 34. A few months ago I got to know I have 2 arachnoid cysts. One is 6cm x 5.5cm. No headaches nor seizures. As my neurological exam was normal my neuro-surgeon was about to discharge me for good, so I told him that I've seen an important deterioration in regards to my language skills (I always had a few mild dyslexia symptoms but now I have many others & they are getting worse with time). My big cyst displaces my broca and Wernicke areas where language are produced.
1053987 tn?1279304510 The key to distinguishing between the two is that, to warrant a diagnosis of ADHD, the symptoms must have been present in childhood. The ADHD-like symptoms of BPII begin at any time with the onset of the disorder.
Avatar m tn I had ADHD and dyslexia as a child. It was never treated because of the era. All of my children, grands& great-grands have it. I have recently experienced a return of ADHD that has become debilitating with constantly being distracted and serious inability to accomplish what I need to do. I am concerned my docs will not treat it appropriately b/c of the conditions I have that are treated with Rxs: COPD, Spondyloiisthesis, Arthritis, PVCs & Sleep Apnea.
Avatar n tn Hi, all of your symptoms point to a possible hormonal problem rather than ADHD. The lack of concentration, lack of focus, loss of interest/inability to do the things you used to love, Weight gain, even possible depression.Those are classic symptoms of a Thyroid problem or a Hormonal imbalance.If so, your symtoms are not going to get better on their own and they will probably get worse. You should see your doctor who can run a simple blood test to check those things for you.
Avatar m tn I agree to go with their interests. I have a son on the autistic spectrum. He can immediately memorise his reading book, but cannot actually read yet. He is 7.5 years old. He loves TV/DVDs and recently he has been learning Greek from watching DVDs sent from Greece (my husband is Greek). So he has begun to tell me what certain phrases in Greek mean! I think that along with autism, children with ADHD and dyslexia etc find the way that reading/writing is taught today difficult to access.
Avatar n tn she can read well, but comprehension is not great, she tends to rush, not stop at periods etc., but I thought that was all due to ADHD. How do I get dyslexia diagnosed?
Avatar f tn I was just complaining about my typing/dyslexia to my girlfriend. This feels crazy. I also feel as if I have adhd now. I definitely did not feel this way before I got so sick.
Avatar f tn Add, adhd, and dyslexia run in my family. Everyone on my dad's side deals with one of these. Some say it's not genetic but I beg to differ. One thing that helped my cousins hyperactivity was avoiding red dye in foods and not being treated special because of his add. As in he got punished just like any other kid. But no two kids are the same.
Avatar n tn Our 8yr old Caucasian son is currently experiencing chronic and debilitating head, stomach, knee and skin pain. He also complains itchy/burning skin/scalp, dizziness and nausea. Symptoms appear to be aggravated with heat and activity. He constantly complaints of not feeling good, has general malaise, fatigue and stays in bed most days. In the past he has had: • [2008-current] Chronic head pain • [2010-current] ADD, dyslexia and dysgraphia.
Avatar m tn I don't know what the Dr. prescribed you because it is in french. There isn't a medicine for autism or for dyslexia - as far as I know. I wouldn't take the meds until you have the title translated and figure out what it is for. Concerta is supposed to work well for ADD symptoms.
Avatar f tn s the idea of hearing and vision difficulties, and lastly dyslexia. Dyslexia is actually somewhat common, President Wilson had it, and it is VERY hard for those people to see letters in any sort of organized way and they get words out of order, so it takes them three times as long to learn something. I think a professional who understands learning differences could be recommended by an elementary school nearby, it's good you've recognized a possible problem now.
Avatar f tn Why do you suspect add/adhd? It could be but you mention things that are read flags for other issues. For example, my son had a terrible time writing. He was resistent to it because it was hard for him . . . he'd have avoided it all together if he could. He had trouble with other fine motor things like scissors as well. He has sensory integration disorder and with sensory which is a processing issue, he had trouble with motor planning.
1190373 tn?1264839009 Many smart people also have add/adhd (which are slightly different---- the add types are often less noticable than the adhd types (h stands for hyperactivity). This is an issue with the nervous system and brain chemistry. It is diagnosed by a physician and I would only be evaluated by a psychiatrist for this. Was any testing/evaluations done for you when you were younger? Medication is often given for add/adhd but I would try some other things first.
Avatar f tn For preschool-aged children, evidence-based behavioral therapy alone is recommended as the first step toward treating ADHD symptoms and associated impairment." So even if meds are not given - the therapy is recommended. They can not just ignore the situation and say come back later on. You can read about it here. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/759086?src=nl_topic If you do want to check out the ADHD aspect - this site has a pretty good list of things to look out for.
944787 tn?1287084773 ive never been tested as a child for autism i was tested for adhd and was told no. i had learning difficulties and still do have slight dyslexia and i was just wondering after reading all these forums if i could have autism and if i could how would i be tested... autism is in my family both mother and fathers sides and a few other mental conditions.
Avatar f tn Hello from a beautiful UK morning, My daughter will be 15 in two weeks time and we have realised she has ADHD for some years now. Dyslexia is also an issue too and reading your posts I COMPLETELY understand how you feel. Yes diet does not help and my daughter recognises this too so she is good enough to not eat candy and chocolate while at school. I have noticed that since we have only eaten organic meat and veg that her behaviour has been less extreme? Interesting that one.
Avatar f tn I wanted to be made deaf - looked into it.. surgery isn't covered, and besides, they would never consider coverage for surgery - for a disability that they don't acknowledge exists. Also, from a medical ethics pov, in constellation with the fact that there is little or no education about it, many doctors don't know that it exists, for eg. Ninety-nine percent of people have never heard of it. Our education has never heard of it, with respect to children who have it.
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with ADHD, Dyslexia and Dyspraxia just before lock-down. (aged 44)This came about by me having to pay for an ed-psych report as everytime i raised it with a GP it was shot down.
Avatar f tn His parents are divorced and he has limited time with his father. He lives with his mother and 6 year old brother. He has ADHD (on meds), Anxiety and Depression (on meds) and is struggling in school somewhat due to Dyslexia. He seems angry or sad most of the time. He is now in trouble at school for touching the female students on their bottoms. He has done this twice and is in "in school suspension", which basically means no recess. His next step is to be suspended from school.
Avatar f tn 1. Sleep deprivation -- symptoms mimic ADHD. Melatonin is a natural supplement that may help in this area (2 - 5 mg.) 2. I don't understand the terms you were using GP because they are not used in the US. I would get him tested. Dyslexia is one possibility as well as Earlen's Syndrome (I'm not sure if I spelled it right). This is a disorder that makes reading and writing very difficult. The words move and wiggle on the page to students with this problem.
Avatar m tn t know how t deal a child with dyslexia.
118225 tn?1278654940 , more than ADD I think it could be Dyslexia although ADD or ADHD sometimes comes with a combination of learning dissabilities. I don't think that punishment in this case is warranted, I think that there is a serious issue that needs to be examined by a professional.
