[quote=Anonymous]I think adhd is over diagnosed in boys frequently. Especially young ones. Are you noticing symptoms at home? Something else to note is that some boys thrive in all boys environments where the adhd label magically disappears. Co-Ed schools are often geared towards girls- they’re developmentally able to focus longer without breaks in early elementary years. One more point I will make as the mother of several kids who have undergone multiple neuropsych evals- you are paying professionals thousands to find problems with your child. They will find something, that is their job. I’m not saying they are all inaccurate but there is a lot of research on how the methodology for neuropsych testing is flawed, particularly for adhd testing. Just something to keep in mind. [/quote]
