[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we go back to the fact that 25% of boys get ADHD diagnoses??[/quote] If it is over diagnosed, it is the hyperactive type. They want to control behavior in over crowded classrooms. Inattentive is grossly under diagnosed. Every teacher loves the quiet kid (who is zoned out but no one realizes that). They will ignore that kid unless they fail (hard to do in elementary school) to avoid having another student with an IEP.[/quote] I’m not totally sure that’s true. I do think a lot of parents are hyper-attuned to any academic struggle or difference. A kid missing a few assignments in MS will snowball into an ADHD diagnosis. [/quote]
