[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I highly recommend Stixrud Group in Silver Spring. I'm sure there are other great groups in the area as well.  My DS was diagnosed with ADHD, inattentive type in 2nd or 3rd grade. We used Dr. Wasserman and she was amazing.  The report (a full neuropsych evaluation) was very thorough. Unfortunately, my son was so off the charts inattentive, that it was not able to be managed without medication. There are a few books she recommended which are great:  "Late, Lost, and Unprepared" and "Smart but Scattered".  Good luck!

I second this.  Our DC was diagnosed at 15yo and it was so helpful to know what we were dealing with.  We engaged a tutor and organizational coach and he later (with our input) decided to go on medication.  He works to his strengths and has coping mechanisms/tools for compensating for his challenges.

He is now a highly successful college freshman at a small liberal arts school.  (FWIW, IMO small colleges are a much better environment for these kids than large ones.)[/quote]
