[quote=Anonymous] Option 1: your teen has mild inattentive ADHD but can compensate so well that it's borderline diagnosable. Option 2: the psychologist evaluating your teen did not do it correctly. Where did you go? At Stixrud, my child has consistently done DISMALLY at the specific attention exercise: 20 or so minutes of pressing on a button if you see something or not (a flash of light? I can't remember). This is intended to bore kids so much that they cannot hyperfocus, and any existing attention issue is revealed. My son presses the button randomly because he starts daydreaming and can't remember if he saw something he needed to press the button for or not, so his score is always terrible! There are other tests that measure attention, memory and processing speed as well, I can't remember them all. A decent psychologist would know to interpret the questionnaire given the results of the testing. A full neuropsych lasts for 8 hours over two days at Stixrud.[/quote]
