[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what ever the cause, if ADD/HD is suspected is very important to get a DX early.  Untreated it can lead to unhappy and unsuccessful kids.  I know. [/quote]

I totally agree.  Who cares how many people have it.  When it's your child that has it, the only thing that matters is getting treatment and helping your child be as successful as possible.  And, to the PP who thinks that his/her family members may have had it, I think the same of mine.  My younger siblings all dropped out of high school after ten years of being unsuccessful at school.  It's unfortunate for them that we didn't know then what we know now.  [/quote]

Because if your child is being falsely diagnosed because they are in the wrong educational setting, then you may be missing an important part of the puzzle.  When a disorder is based strongly on subjective observations by teachers, it is really important to explore all avenues to understand the behavior.  [/quote]

Nobody is saying that it's not important to get your child an accurate diagnosis.  What we're saying is that we don't care how many people have the condition or that the numbers are rising.  What matters is that once you have a diagnosis, getting the right treatment and interventions is important.[/quote]
