Surprised teachers haven’t suggested it. If he was placed at the end of a table for being disruptive that should have been a clue. 
My 11yo just got diagnosed thru mcps. She’s at private but teachers were concerned so we went they mcps for evaluation. She has adhd inattentive type. 
I’d talk to teachers and see if they will support a referral [/quote]

DP - My experience was that I noticed my DC was having trouble with attention in K and asked the teachers every year until 3rd if they noticed something.  The teachers only said yes DC has trouble with attention when DC got to 3rd grade.  DC was diagnosed with moderate ADHD inattentive type.  I think the inattentive-types don't get as much negative attention and teachers often overlook them and chalk up the behavior to their age group.  If you notice it and your kid notices it in themselves, trust your gut and talk to your pediatrician.  We could have evaluated earlier but I didn't want to be overly aggressive.  Turns out I was right, and should have said something to the pediatrician earlier to get the ball rolling.  We haven't lost too much time, but it takes a while to get evaluated, get meds and/or therapy and find a plan that works.  [/quote]
