My son, now 23 years old was diagnosed ADHD at the age of 12 but I had worked out for myself from the age of 5 that he had this.It took the next 7 years to prove to schools and psychologists that this was the case. Having lived with this and the fact that he is also dyslexic and has eating problems has not been easy. He eats only chips every day including Christmas day. His only other food intake consists of crisps, apple pie and toast. I too took him to m any doctors who said he would grow out of it and would try other foods when he was ready. This has never happened. You would probably think he would be so obese and spotty having this kind of diet all his life, but no he is very fit, has good all over muscle and NO spots (or rarely). He would be a good one to study as all the adverts state too much fat is not good for you. He eats salt and vinegar like it is going out of fashion and toast with clover spread every day several times a day. I have had many sleepless nights over the years worrying but have had no help to try to get his eating habits to some kind of normality. HELP!!!!!! Lynne
