[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think you should mention anything. If they only have one child, they may not know. One of my kids probably has ADHD. He’s doing fine at school, but he’s a quirky kid. Some of his behaviors are classic ADHD things and when I get exasperated my mom is quick to remind me “you were JUST like that as a kid”. I have ADHD, but if I only had one kid I would likely write off his quirks as being generic components of his personality, not ADHD. The difference is that I have 2 kids and my younger child does not have the same quirks and challenges. I think it’s easy to write off mild quirks as things “all kids do”, like boys being rough and wild or forgetting their water bottle at school. I mean last and found wouldn’t be overflowing if losing things was unique to your kid right? All kids are wild or forgetful or overstimulated sometimes. I think it’s only when you actually live with a kid whose brain works differently that you realize the contrast. [/quote]
