right, my mistaken post, see my reply to marna.

*sigh* how long is a long period of time?  when a two year old acts like 
he's inside a pinball machine, with full sound and lights, and especially 
lots of ricochet affect, its kind of cute.  'where does he get all that 
energy?'

when a five year old is still bouncing off hte walls, its irritating.

when a third grader can't sit, can't focus, can't deal with various social 
situations, its good to know that this is not due to 'bad parenting', bec. 
we've tried everything.  and not due to being a bad kid, bec. he's 
absolutely not.  if there's something wrong in his brain wiring, and it can 
be corrected so that he has more control over himself, i will be very 
relived.

note that i don't say i want teh school and/or myself to have more control 
over him.  its just htat right now, he can stay still for half an hour -at 
will- jsut about as easily as holding his breath for an half an hour.
