[quote=Anonymous]Are these inattentive symptoms showing up for the first time in teenage years? Are there any other reasons (other than the forgetfulness you mentioned) that you've suspected he has ADHD? There's a lot in between "true ADHD inability to focus and listen versus just being a disrespectful teenager who won't do what his parents ask." Mainly, regular levels of forgetfulness. Have you tried anything in response to these issues? E.g., he needs to remember to lock the car if he wants to be able to drive. I wonder if the "huge family strife" is coming from family functioning issues rather than his possibly ADHD symptoms. Even if what you mentioned is coming from ADHD, it seems like a massive overreaction for forgetting to lock doors leading to massive family strife.[/quote]
