[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like the adhd studies are making my head hurt. I think the younger kids are being over diagnosed and the older kids are being under diagnosed. And I don’t understand the Finnish or Danish studies saying allowing liberal redshirting decreases the # of adhd diagnoses. Doesn’t someone still have to be the youngest? And won’t those kids still be at risk for adhd diagnosis? Or at least in the way the system is set up in the US without universal preschool or other school options for every single kid who is “not ready”?[/quote] The Danish study indicates it's just better to delay formal schooling (or let the parents liberally self-select to delay.) [/quote] Obviously the Danish study is inapplicable because generally schools in the US allow liberal redshirting and yet still have very high rates of diagnosed ADHD. [/quote]
