Has anyone heard of fusion difficulty?
The school did vision and hearing tests last week and yesterday the results from the vision test came home. The results said that Everett failed the fusion part of the test. I have never heard of this before and upon some research on the internet I found a connection between ADHD kids and fusion problems. Basically it said that fusion vision problems can be misdiagnosed as ADHD that this one eye doctor noticed that more of his patients with fusion problems were also diagnosed with ADHD and it turned out that the kids didn't have ADHD that it was a vision problem. Once treatment for the fusion vision problem was started then their focusing skills improved.
I finally got the results from Everett's tests at NYU in July and it says that he has Aspergers and ADHD. They are recommending that he go back on ADHD medication. I was surprised by the ADHD part of the test and now I get this from the school. I just the NYU results back last week so the timing couldn't be better.
I have to take Anita to the eye doctor today because I think she is nearsighted and needs glasses, she has been having trouble reading smaller print. So I will talk with the eye doctor about it today.
Any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions, or advice.

I hope you get some good answers. I have heard of tracking problems but the fusion is a new one on me. I'll be interested to know what you find out. Update us when you can.
