[quote=Anonymous]Op, I would talk with your DH about it but I would hammer it home that you need to act as responsible parents.

I also don’t think your DH has a right to veto what you want - you need to push him to compromise and at least have an open minded discussion. So maybe you  get an evaluation from the ped but don’t give it to the school yet. And you and your DH have to read/watch books/videos by experts on ADHD about the science of it and discuss. It sounds like he doesn’t “believe” in ADHD, but there is good scientific/medical evidence on it that he hopefully wouldn’t just blow off.

There are consequences to not treating ADHD. It’s not like not doing anything to treat ADHD is a neutral choice.

We have had 2 neuropsych done for my oldest and they never asked from permission from DH. However, the cost was significant ($4k) so I would have had to tell DH because we don’t hide financial stuff from each other (or other stuff, but I am super sensitive about financial stuff).

Educating myself about ADHD helped me get comfortable with treating it in my child, and also feeling like it wasn’t some “problem” my DC should be embarrassed about, but a chronic condition like diabetes that we needed to help DC manage and still love their full lives. [/quote]
