[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dont really understand your premise. If you suspect your daughter has adhd, yes she should be treated. That may or may not involve medication. It doesn't have anything to do with getting 5s on an ap test. It has to do with equipping her body and brain for best outcome. Across all of life. If you don't treat this, she will be the person in the office who forgets to send the calendar appointment, or sends it with the wrong link, or wrong attachment, or something else that drives her boss crazy, and she wont have the tools to help herself do better.

Knowledge and awareness are power. Let her talk to a doctor, but don't do it to make 5s on a test.[/quote]

Unless you plan to medicate, there is no special “treatment” other than figuring out how best to stay organized, a system that works to keep track of tasks to accomplish, etc. Which is what you would do either way. [/quote]

Knowing how your brain works is key to finding a system. There isnt one system that works for everyone. There also may be times when medication is needed (if she becomes a parent for example) and having the history of her medical background will be useful. It just seems so odd to look at this through a lens of trying to score a 5 rather than long term success.[/quote]
