[quote=Anonymous]Yes, do the evaluation. Sounds like my DD who has inattentive ADHD and we didn't realize it until she crashed in HS. Was more high-anxiety perfectionist in middle school to try to deal with it so we didn't see it when we were used to her brother's (and father's) more typically-presenting ADHD. Medication helps. Knowing it's not that you are bad/lazy/etc. but have a challenge with your brain helps cut down on the personal judgement. She did a girls ADHD support group for a while but it stopped when the therapist went on maternity leave. She tended to lean on me as the executive function coach but once in college had a good EF coach which helped.[/quote]
