[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thank you all for your thoughtful responses. I am going to look into getting a neuropsych evaluation for DD.

We are moving to in person therapy which I hope also helps.  Interestingly for those of you who think she has ADHD and not just anxiety - she doesn't exhibit any signs of being disorganized in any aspect of her life. Quite the opposite.  Her room is meticulously clean, she has a daily planner for all of her school work, she comes home and immediately does her work, etc.  In fact her sister is the opposite and her room looks like a hoarder of toys lives there.  Perhaps DD does have ADHD but does not show any classical signs.  I am not sure what to think now. [/quote]

I think we are more pushing against the idea that it would be preposterous and impossible for your daughter to have ADHD because she does well in school and is organized as a 9 year old, not that she for sure has Adhd.  Just be open-minded because ADHD can look so different in girls.  Talking to a specialist is the right approach.[/quote]

OMG just STOP. Seriously. ADHD is not likely in a child as OP describes her. I truly do not understand this mania to dx ADHD. [/quote]
