[quote=Anonymous]Sounds a little like DD who always had a tough time getting out the door and is prone to strong emotions. She has ADHD and anxiety. We didn’t recognize the ADHD until middle school and I wish we had known sooner. I would have parented differently. I just thought she was being stubborn and dramatic. I’m a pretty patient person and my response was to ignore but the fact is that it didn’t get me very far. Once I knew I was able to remind myself she wasn’t trying to be difficult. Medication made a huge impact. A neuropsych can’t hurt but can help so I would do it. We went through Children’s. It is a long wait for testing so going private pay might help speed things along. When she was older we did a quicker evaluation that was just ADHD specific for college accommodations so I think that’s a possibility if price is a factor. [/quote]
