[quote=Anonymous]My son is almost 4, and, like your daughter, an outlier in terms of lack of attention and self regulation. he also has obvious sensory issues, like leaning on people and touching everyone that make it pretty clear something is going on. He also has had some minor speech delays. Does your dd have anything like that? My understanding actually is that kids under 5 can be diagnosed - there are some good NIH studies - but its easier and more predicatable after 5. Also, the only treatment would be therapy, more for the parents, so it is more about putting that into place. medication for later. I will say, and I understand that this is true for many parents who had kids who presented with very several ADD in preschool - we have suspected it since he was around 1, and I completely believe that medication may truly be very helpful for him, like a godsend. He simply can't focus on anything, not even potty training, and it is like he can't rest his body no matter how much he wants to. It must be exhausting to be him.[/quote]
