 Alot of school districts (Mi) don't have a special school for that.  We
 struggle trying to get our children diagnosed and than fighting to get
 the school to do something.  I homeschool mind now and it is difficult
 with 3 kids; 1 ADD possible bipolar, 1 ADHD/ODD, and one very bright
 child.  But I would rather go through this then fight the school system
 for the many years I have.  Many children are put in the corner of the
 class or called lazy and stupid, or get expelled constantly.  Finding
 a medication that works is difficult and the school system just doesn't
 want to deal with it.
