[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thanks everyone. Can a child have ADHD without being hyperactive?[/quote] Yes.[/quote] It's called Inattentive Type. Or ADHD-I. More common in girls.[/quote] I was just diagnose with ADD as an adult (I am female). Both therapist and psychiatrist said it is very common to not have hyperactivity in girls, and that is why it is missed a lot time in girls. Please have her evaluated. [/quote] When I saw the first post of ADHD, I actually said out loud, "Not H." DS was diagnosed as "Inattentive" with not mention of ADHD. Quite the opposite, he's a laid back dude. Eye contact when speaking, a clear table when doing homework (no distractions), and (alas) frequent prompts characterize DS' academic experience. Have her tested. When's her next ped appointment? I'd definitely have the conversation. The doc may send you off with some Vanderbilt Questionnaires to get you started.[/quote]
