[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At most schools, teachers are not able to suggest screening. They are giving you many, many hints though. You have to take the initiative here. [/quote] Even if I straight up them if I should consider testing? The response has been, “He’s a 7 (or 8 or 9) year old boy!”[/quote] That’s what the new teachers told me. Then we had an experienced one who paused and answered, “I think you’re asking smart questions.” The experienced ones know when to take a chance and actually weigh in, while the newer ones stickers to the training to say nothing. Third grade is a common time for ADHDers to start struggling more. Middle school is the next. At those times the expectations jump, so any deficits become more noticeable. I have noticed anecdotally that inattentive type is diagnosed later than predominantly hyperactive. [/quote] "I think you're asking smart questions," is sticking to the training too. [/quote]
