[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- let me rephrase. At what age is the minimum for making an ADHD diagnosis. In other words, can a 4 year old really even have ADHD, as the school suggests?[/quote] OP, you should be seeing a developmental pediatrician if you suspect something like this. You would also be seeing similar behaviors at home--not just at school. Also, lots of things look like ADHD, including immaturity. Four year olds should be somewhat "wiggly." It might be a problem with your preschool, not your kid BTW. I personally would switch schools if they tried to suggest a diagnosis. You [i]can[/i] be diagnosed at 4, but you could save some time and do some behavioral therapy and see if that doesn't help the "wiggles."[/quote]
