[quote=Anonymous]It's dx mainly through parent and teacher questionnaires. Her teacher says it's not bad enough to warrant pursuing a dx, and you're not sure either. I would wait. You can read books like Smart but Scattered and try to implement some of the strategies. I wouldn't pay 4 k and pull her out of school for 2 days for a neuropsych given what you've shared. When we filled out the parent questionnaire, we were like wheres the column for all the d@mn time and his teacher had been complaining about him. Stimulants are the main medication for ADHD, and they can help a lot but also have non-trival side effects like appetite suppression and trouble sleeping. There are other medications like Strattera and guanfacine. [/quote]
