[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, I have a now 17 year old DD. Her preschool teacher mentioned some attention issues and she was born with a medical issue that made ADHD more likely. She had testing at 4.5 and 7 - had symptoms of ADHD but didn’t qualify for the full dx yet. She had a Neuropsych at 10 and finally met the criteria for the actually diagnosis. She also had some anxiety as well and did therapy around ages 4 and 10 for about 10 sessions each which were helpful at the time. 
We asked her school for a 504 in 5th grade bc we wanted it in place for middle school and we were starting to see education impacts in school, especially not having enough time for tests. We didn’t start meds until halfway through 7th grade during the pandemic. It took a lot of trial and error to find the right dose but we found a med that helps with attention but doesn’t dull her personality. Maturity also probably helped as she was very resistant to meds for awhile. She is a senior now, applying for colleges, and finally recognizes that the meds do help.  [/quote]
