Two things. First, giftedness can mask ADHD. I wasn't diagnosed until middle school and excelled in school (mostly) until grad school. Second, Outschool.com, tutoring on your own or through sites like Wyzant, posting on Teachers Pay Teachers, are all excellent ways to supplement income.

lgliser, how are things going? I had to reply because my 7yo ds lies like a rug. Our eval ruled out adhd and spd but I disagree. They did identify a reading disability. I've found that for him, questioning is actually somewhat effective. I think he could be trying to save face but it generally seems to be avoidance. Avoiding trouble and work. It is super aggravating because I cannot trust anything he says and he's a really good liar. He's dramatic and good at acting in general. I don't want him to think lying is okay and I don't want him to feel like a liar is part of his identity either. I also cannot closely supervise him at all times. I've thought about getting cameras in the house just to see what he's doing! Anywho, wanted to let you know you're not alone in feeling that lying is a problem, adhd or not. I was also a superb liar as an adhd kid. I don't think my mother caught me very often.

How's the school year going? I have been mostly just reading on the forum but I was curious about your dd. It seemed odd to me that the teacher wouldn't let her finish her work at home.

I'm interested in purchasing an iLS system for $800 or less.
