[quote=Anonymous]It may be a combination of ADD and something else. A lot of your description of your DD would describe me as a kid. I was diagnosed ADD as an adult a couple years ago, between older and younger DS both being diagnosed ADHD. While we didn't understand how it presented in girls, particularly in the early 80s when I was growing up, my life would have been so much easier if I'd been diagnosed and started medication then. I've been on medication since I was diagnosed and it's been life-changing for me. I'm a better parent, work is easier, etc. Please get a full assessment and see what is going on and then get your child the tools she needs to be successful and happy. We tried not doing medication for my guys but it was very much necessary for them.[/quote]
