[quote=Anonymous]I suspected at about 4, and we had him evaluated when preschool had concerns. Until about 8 I was told that while my son met some criteria, he did not meet the standards for a diagnosis and we should "watch him." I always thought he had ADHD. In third grade, he had a really difficult year and the teachers called us in for a meeting. I took him back to the behavioral ped we took him to when he was 4, and then he was officially diagnosed and medicated. I was not at all surprised. I'm glad we were given a more conservative approach, because while he had behavior problems on preschool and kindergarten, it did not really affect him academically. The medications helped him tremendously once we started them. [/quote]
