[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Processing speed and working memory form no part of the diagnostic criteria for adhd. (They can be associated but do not confirm a diagnosis nor does the absent email of these in any way call the diagnosis into question.) however, the fact that the teacher didn’t indicate issues does make the diagnosis less likely since symptoms must manifest in more than just the home setting. However, young children (especially girls with inattentive adhd who are bright) may fly under the radar with teachers for a long time. [/quote]

This.  My kid has ASD and ADHD, combined type.  He has very superior processing speed (97 percentile) and working memory (99 percentile) nevertheless he has ADHD and all his teachers agree with the diagnosis as do I.  :lol:  The way this manifests is that DS does very well academically and doesn’t need meds or supports.[/quote]

Processing speed and working memory are not concerns in our family of ADHDers.
