Shawna, I would look very hard at potentioal neurogenic causes, however, there are a bunch of other issues with this case. At age 11, the child may be entering puberty, which could bring about metabolic, as well as emotional changes, not to metion increased social pressures. The effects of the medication could have changed, in addition, maybe the child has finally met the level where demands exceed their innate capacities. At this time in school, the person you referenced is probably being expected to make more "in-class" presentations, learn more advance information, and so on. In summary, their are lots of reasons why we might suspect late onset, and neurogenic reasons are but one of the possibilities. I did notice that you are from New Orleans. Please make the drive to Lafayette and join us for our support group! Thanks again, John Tetnowski
