I agree Jane,
I think what you describe is a separate learning issue, not part of ADHD or sugar sensitivity but about comprehension, story making and translation of grapheme to meaning.

I have heard of other kids with ADHD having a similar problem, but I think the difficulties of turning the read words into an understandable narrative is a completely separate issue.

Whatever the other issues are, I have found it really beneficial to have the sugar sensitivity well fed, so that I know those sugar related issues are not compounding and confounding the presentation of the other factors (smile)

: Hi Kath

: Thanks so much for your response.
: Sounds like things are really
: going well for you and your family
: :)

: I do think that Adrian's reading
: problem may be something that is
: not connected to Sugar Sensitive,
: but mainly because I have not had
: learning difficulties myself other
: than needing to do something over
: and over and over to be able to
: learn something that has a lot of
: components to it, and also I
: believe his reading problem may be
: something other than Sugar
: Sensitivity because being detoxed
: for 3 years myself, I have pretty
: much identified every
: symptom/issue with the brain
: chemical that causes it, and I
: can't see which of the ones
: involved in Sugar Sensitivity
: would be responsible for such an
: issue. If he can actually look at
: the words and "read"
: them, but not understand them, I
: can't see that it would be an
: attention problem.

: However, I am not an expert and if I
: am considered viable to be his
: carer, I guess I will find out as
: we go along. Maybe his learning
: style is just better suited to
: audio, rather that visual...

: Thanks again for your response

: Lots of love
