When he was younger I sought out professional held because I thought he dyslexic. He did poorly in school and he had a very reclusive life. He was tested and at that time he was not diagnosed with the disorder. I was never able to obtain any diagnosis that addressed his behavior. He had a few sessions with a MD but there was never any improvement. He struggled in school as well as his everyday life. I asked him if it suggested by the MD would he take medications.The very question upset him. He felt that if he had to have medication that would in his mind be “crazy”. I let it go. He continued to struggle in school and now he has a small job at a grocery store and needless to say his struggles continue. Today when he came home from work he stated to me “mom I hate to ask you this but can we see someone so I can focus and concentrate”. He said that he got wrote up at work because it’s getting harder and harder to keep up with his responsibilities as it pertains to his job. We just want for someone to diagnose and treat him.
