[quote=Anonymous]Some doctors/researchers (including NIH) diagnose as early as four so it's not unheard of. However, they usually only diagnose the hyperactive type at an early age. The inattentive type is much harder to diagnose at a young age as there are fewer academic demands. Plus some of the issues could just be related to maturity or slow development rather than ADHD and a lot of evaluators want to be cautious. The reason why some people say to wait until third grade is because that's when most issues related to maturity or development "even out." This is why some school districts wait until this age to start testing kids into gifted programs. [/quote]
