[quote=Anonymous]It's certainly a red flag for inattentive ADHD, but could also be absence seizures (my friend has had some in front of me and it looks exactly like that). At this point, since there are no behavioral or learning issues, I would not do expensive testing, because in younger children it is notoriously difficult to get right, and if you receive a diagnosis, it might change later. We had DS tested at that age, with much stronger symptoms of ADHD, and only received a tentative diagnosis. We tested again when he was 10 and the psychologist said his ADHD was severe, and came with learning disabilities, which we think is much more accurate, and explains a lot. We medicated him at that point, and it greatly helped. However, just drop a word to the pediatrician at the next appointment, to talk about seizures. [/quote]
