Still a lot of gibberish out there. Kid’s pediatrician had his tonsils removed because they were likely causing sleep apnea, complicit in a bunch of behavior issues. (They needed to come out anyway, though not actively infected.)

WE TOOK THE kid to the Univ of Chicago Psych hospital for evaluation. I wanted the one place that would do the full evaluation with professionals who were all on the same page. (Pshcyiatrist, psychologist, social workers etc)

Not ADD. Anxiety disorder. Intellectal age was far, far beyond his emotional age —causing conflict and anxiety.

I think this accounts for a lot of boys. Anxiety causes shpilkes.
