[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No chance of ADHD, unless it only started in the last 5 months.

What blows away my mind is this - my child helps with homework/questions on some of the Algebra 2 topics earlier in the year to our neighbor's child who is in the same class. So not like child does not understand or finding it difficult. Attitude is a B is good enough for what the college I want to go to, so why bother. It is working fine, until the health issue. Then it seemed like, I have this health issue, maybe I do not even need a B. Not sure if that is the thinking but seems like it.

What do you mean no chance of ADHD? It could have been there all along but you just were not aware because they were managing to keep it together until it all got to be too much. Please get your child evaluated. It can do so much harm to blame the child for something out of their control.

We have friends whose children have ADHD and child does not exhibit any similarities. But of course we are not really familiar with ADHD.

To us child is pretty normal. People person. Gets along with everyone. Organizes events, can manage a bunch of people to do something for hours, etc.

Would you still recommend getting child evaluated? [/quote]

Of course! Why do you think there's only one profile of ADHD? Seriously, wake up and help your kid. I recommend Stixrud in Silver Spring. They do full neuropsychological evaluations, which is very important because kids with issues often don't just have one, and you don't know which one is holding them back the most. It's going to be 5K, and there is a waitlist, so call tomorrow.
