But when it comes to sitting in class or something where his mind can wander is where the problem is. Hope this helps some.

OMG!!!!! This describes him perfectly! As long as he's playing computer games, he can do that for HOURS! I've limited the time he spends on there but then dad comes along and they go and play together. I told him(DH) that this comes from HIS side of the family since we've never had it on my side before.

Anyway, thanks, ladies. I REALLY appreciate your help. This calms my mind some.

The nurse said this appointment will take longer than most because they do a thorough physical exam. I asked about testing since he has not been tested before but she didn't say anything so we'll see.

Thing is, the appointment is on his birthday and I was going to bring cupcakes for their snack time. Guess I'll do that Thursday or Friday.
