[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does an ordinary parent distinguish between a normal high energy kid and one with ADHD? Just trying to understand my DC, and NOT looking to get an IEP or 504 or diagnosis. [/quote] Well, most parents would get a qualified medical professional to make a diagnosis. But since you're not interested in that...I suppose you could just flip a coin.[/quote] We have been cautioned that in our area many "qualified medical professionals" will almost always diagnose something -- even if a kid really is in the normal range -- because they think parents want documentation for an 504 or IEP filing. [/quote] cautioned by who exactly? if you're skeptical of the actual qualified medical professionals and seeing advice on the internet, there isn't much hope for you. this reminds of of the "i did my own research" crowd with covid.
