hi
i no exactly where you are coming from my son didnt get diagnosed till he was 9 and i had to keep going backwards and forwards from the doctors to get help eventually after years i finally got a doctor to refer him to a phycologist who said he didnt think it was adhd but that darren had emotional problems so i said right next appointment you have my son on your own and ill sit in waiting room thats what i done he came back out the room after 5 mins and said im sorry i think you are right i think your son has adhd as he was turning the taps on and of he was burping in the drs face he was passing wind in the drs face he was charging round the room climbing all over the chairs etc he then refereed darren to a phyciatrist and a peadiatrician and then darren got diagnosed with adhd ocd odd and tourettes and now he is also under investigation for aspergers syndrome and hes 13 now . what im trying to say here is yeah the going gets really tough but dont give up keep pestering the doctors ask for him to be refered to phycology or phyciatry they r the best for looking into childrens problems adhd etc let me no how you get on
take care
