[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe helpful: https://www.additudemag.com/preschoolers-adhd/?src=embed_ss I think there is potential harm to “wait and see.” Possibly shame in not being able to control himself and always being the “bad kid” or troublemaker needing constant correction. Being ostracized by peers, etc.[/quote] Yes, definitely harmful to wait. Get him fully assessed not just for ADHD but also for SLDs which are highly comorbid with ADHD. (Many ADHD kids have reading comprehension difficulties related to their ADHD, but not presenting in 3rd grade because reading isn't long form yet and smart kids can otherwise compensate with their own knowledge base. If diagnosed See a psychiatrist for meds, even if you don't want to do meds now. Get a therapist who is educated in ADHD. Fill in with tutoring as soon as needed in math, writing, reading comp and social skills. Ask me how I know. [/quote]
