[quote=Anonymous]ADHD or “ADHD”? The problem with these questions is that some posters will claim that their kid has “ADHD” but when you drill down they basically have extremely mild issues, to the point that you suspect the parents are just intolerant of any sort of weakness in their kids or hyper concerned. These are the kids who supposedly attend top privates with “ADHD but minimal supports and doing great!!!” In short these kids actually do not have neurodevelopmental disorders. So you have to be pretty specific and also honest about your kid’s actual challenges and weaknesses. Any needs beyond extra time on tests are prob disqualifying from top privates at the MS and HS level. Conversely there are schools and programs than authentically do support some more significant needs, like the Catholic SN programs, Commonwealth, McLean, Lab, etc. [/quote]
