[quote=Anonymous]Your pediatrician may do this for you - most do but not all. What’s involved is an office visit, an extensive questionnaire that both parents (separately) and a teacher needs to fill out and then the scoring by the doctor. Even if you went through expensive testing, this is how you would get the diagnosis - you would also get some tests to confirm the results and other testing. But the simplest way to a diagnosis is a pediatrician. Many pediatricians also prescribe medication if you want to go that route. If it gets complicated, like if there are mental health issues or you can’t easily find a medication that works, then you’d get referred to a psychiatrist or a psychiatric nurse practitioner.
