We bought the Friedrich for our sonâÂÂs room. Thankfully, he sleeps like a log. We found the Friedrich to be really loud, even louder than the portable SPT that we have in our bedroom (which isnâÂÂt quiet either). And the biggest problem with Friedrich is the fan is so loud at any setting (even the lowest one). The other problem with the Friedrich is that it is a bear. It is very heavy and difficult to maneuver. Our friends like their LG, and weâÂÂve heard good things about the Sharp units.

Impulsivity can be a problem on its own with or without ADHD. Some people might call just the impulsivity problem ADD (without the hyperactivity), and sometimes girls with ADHD or ADD get missed because they don't tend to act out (on the whole) to the same degree that affected boys seem to. Impulsivity, and distractability can coexist as problems and lead to ADHD/ADD symptoms. The thing with ADHD or ADD for that matter is that it's a neurological condition. There 'should' be the classic and problematic symptoms in different settings (not just at school or just at home, or just with certain people for example). Children can have anxiety disorders too. A generalized anxiety disorder can lead to such things as 'jumpiness' and what can look like distractability and even impulsivity. Asperger's syndrome causes a spectrum of different symptoms from mild to severe. The classic problem would be correct interpretation of social cues that 'normal' people just seem to pick up on as if by magic. That can lead to anxiety because of not being able 'read' people correctly then they assume weird and incorrect things about you, and that just sets up a vicious cycle of problems. A secondary classic phenomenon with this syndrome is concrete thinking. People who have this may not 'get' sarcasm or read intonations correctly. One of the recent studies done showed that they do 'get' and can correctly interpret happy and sad facial expressions. They did have difficulty distinguishing the subtle differences between sad and angry though. A good, accurate diagnosis and some understanding on her part of what she needs to work with in herself can help more than vitamins or any other medication, or supplement which may be helpful or needed. Talk to your pediatrician about the problem and all her history and ask for a recommendation about how to proceed or where you can get specific testing. As a secondary major thing, the biggest difference usually between classroom environments and home environments is the organization and controlledness. Classroom environments are defined, and somewhat regimented. Interactions are orderly and predictable usually. Students, and the teachers generally know what is expected of them and the 'rules' for interactions. Home environments by comparasin are much more chaotic even when 'organized.' Things are not as predictable. This can cause problems for people with any of the previously mentioned disorders and more besides (some people just do better, for no apparent reason, when things are more consistent and predictable). children can also have dysthymia, or other mood disorders (having had an unknown math disability, and a level of perfectionism for however many years has probably been a huge burden on her and she might need more help than just time and a name for the problem to recover enough to seem to 'get over it') P.S. This page has lots of online info from the aacap.

The local county, city, and private schools in the county where I live have gotten together in their fund-raising efforts and put together a coupon book. Coupons are from stores, restaurants, Car wash places, Oil change chains, even WalMart's is in on it. The coupons usually say that you either get $2 off on a $10 purchase of children's with the stores name on the coupons of course...clothes for 20% on a sales item at the particular store, or 25% off on ladies clothing or whatever at a different store. Restaurants have coupons -some chains like McDonal's are in on this with a few coupons -some restaurants have deals like buy one breakfast of juice, eggs, bacon get a second FREE or buy one dinner get Appetizers 1/2 price, buy one dinner get second 1/2 price, buy one burger (certain kind) get second Free on and on. Many times this is a good way for stores to get business from customers that have never been to their stores or restaurant or Nail place etc. It could include several counties for that matter. *I thought it was really good. That way all size schools benefits. The profits for selling of the coupon books go directly to the school where the coupon books are bought. The books sell for 10 dollars but has tons of coupons. They are huge sellers. Beats trying to sell overpriced chocolates and items that people just don't care to buy.

For my final in my Yearbook class, my class has been assigned to do a ten page yearbook about ourselves. And so we can choose between putting it together by hand (scrap-booking, etc) or by using Adobe ID. I NEED your help. Finals are due in three weeks! Thank you. Sincerely, Keisha
