How do i get someone to diagnose my son with ADD or similar.he's nearly 6 and no-one seems to be listening to me

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

Has anyone tried these supplements? Do they give MGers more quality of life by improving memory and overall well being?Thanks!Barbel
Also, 6 is a very VERY young age to diagnose ADD/ADHD. Kids that age are naturally all over the place. Is his behavior a serious problem? Describe his symptoms.
Have any doctors done extensive testing on him? A good doctor will conduct a three hour test.
If nobody diagnoses him with ADD/ADHD and you still are absolutely convinced, you can switch your son to a gluten and casein free diet. There are cookbooks in the bookstores that offer kid-friendly meals you can make that are gluten and casein free. This is a widely accepted practice, and I've heard success stories.
But I would really look closely at your son. Are you SURE it's ADD/ADHD or is it just a behavioral problem. If every doctor you go to won't diagnose him, then maybe they're right.
I hope this helps.
