[quote=Anonymous]Get her tested. It will make her feel so much better that if she does have it, then it explains her poor grades. I am adult who was DX'd with ADHD last year, and only because I saw my DS struggling in school... so lots of negative memories started flooding back in for me. I had a HORRIBLE school experience. I literally thought that there was something wrong with me, that I was dumb, stupid and worthless which by the way is the message I was getting from my parochial school teachers for 12 years straight so that didn't help matters. "Back then", no one got diagnosed with ADHD or if they did it was hidden. Anyhow my feelings of self worth were so negative. It wasn't until I turned 19 and dragged myself out of community college and into a 4 year university did I finally come into my own and start to learn work arounds, I can only imagine how different my life would have been had I been diagnosed and medicated when I was in elementary school.
