[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These aren't huge red flags for me. Even all together. Some may be personality quirks and others a lag in maturity. What does your pediatrician say?

The pink flags for my kids were 
DD #1: always on the go. Disliked being touched gently. Easily overstimulated.
DD #2: inattentiveness and rigidity with routines or resistance to new experiences

Because both were popular with peers and got good grades through ES, it was easy to overlook although I'm an educator.

OP here. We recently switched pediatricians. His old one didn't have any concerns with the issues we raised. His new pediatrician did notice that at his recent well-visit, he was very fidgety (touching everything in the exam room, not listening to me, super giggly when she tried to listen to his breathing, etc.). PP, were your daughters diagnosed with anything?[/quote]

Yes, ADHD initially. Other dxs later for mild conditions often seen with ADHD.

Our pediatrician didn't notice either, but both girls had teachers at 10 or 11 that meticulously documented anything out of the norm with any kid. I wasn't in denial, I just see so many more severe cases in my work that I think my sense of what was typical was a bit skewed. The school screened my older child. We went private eval with the younger. [/quote]
