This is a syndrome that doesn't occur suddenly - one is born with it. As an advocate for children with disabilities I have seen my share of ADD and ADHD. Symptoms are first seen in the hospital new born nursery before the kid ever gets home. Many of the kids I follow are highly athletic, but are diagnosed with bipolar disorder when they reach adulthood with alarming frequency. Many of them also have gross and fine motor deficits. My husband also has your problems, but they are a result of Sinemet. Are you on that med? ---- God bless Mary Ann (CG Jamie 60/40)
