[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm intriguedby the fact that the OP's daughter was diagnosed with ADHD at such a young age. We were told with our oldest that ADHD cannot be accurately diagnosed until at least 5yo. Is that no longer the case?[/quote] OP here, sorry I've been a little lazy with the diagnosis summary -- no, nothing has changed. She was not formally diagnosed with ADHD but actually with Encephalopathy (+ anxiety, SPD, and speech/language disorders). They stated she has with "early signs and symptoms for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder." She told us in person that she seemed ADHD and that we would have received the ADHD diagnosis if she wasn't so young. They also expressly discounted ASD due to a lack of repetitive behaviors/restrictive interest/rigidity. Hope that clarifies.[/quote]
