[quote=Anonymous]ADHD is very often missed in girls because they have coping mechanisms and if she was doing fine academically there was no reason to consider it. An executive functioning coach can help her develop strategies, but knowing there is a problem and there is a need to have strategies can be really helpful. I have two high performing girls, the second with a diagnosis. I had no idea it was even a possibility, I was getting her tested to deal with anxiety and this was identified. When I learned about the early signs it stunned me and I know my older DD also has it, but it did not impact her academics enough and she does not think there is anything going on so I just keep it in mind when supporting her when she has challenges. ADHD does not mean a lack of intelligence or incompetence, it means your brain works differently and it can affect a range of executive functioning skills.[/quote]
