[quote=Anonymous]OP-- I have heard, and I am no expert, that ADD can be more difficult to diagnose until around the third grade. The exceptions may be ADHD for more noticeable impulsivity, hyperactivity, and learning issues. I was told that ADD without the above three, can have a variety of symptoms that are harder to pin down until a child is a bit older. The way we are narrowing in our eight year old DS (likely ADD/inattentive) is that his friends are settling down, working through distractions and maturing socially. My DS (second grade) is still at heart the same kid he was in K. He just didn't progress with classmates in terms of executive functions. I have noticed that there are big social and developmental jumps between ages 6-8 that become much more obvious if a kid hasn't made them. [/quote]
