[quote=Anonymous] I suspect that my daughter has ADD inattentive type. She is currently 10 years old in fourth grade. She has a lot of trouble with forgetfulness, disorganization, sloppiness, and what appears to be laziness. She has also recently been lying a great deal in order to cover her lack of work. I'm not really sure what to do next. She recently had an IQ test with no score is below average but a pretty wide gap between processing speed/working memory and her reasoning ability. I've looked at a few websites but I'm not really sure I know what I'm looking for. Is there a book that someone can recommend to help get me on the right track?

I am not opposed to a full evaluation but she has no major trouble in either school, socially, or at home.  I am not convinced she would be diagnosed with anything. That said, I find her exhausting to parent and I realize that there could well be something wrong.  I'm not really sure what I am looking for, but I guess the main thing would be some book suggestions. If she is a mild case, maybe there are things I can do to support her.[/quote]
