[quote=Anonymous]OP, my 14 yr old DD also seems convinced that she’s got ADHD and it’s the reason she is always in trouble or that he grades are slipping. She uses it as an excuse for everything. It seems as if a large number of kids at her school claim to have that diagnosis (I have no idea if it’s true or not). She also is a tall tale teller/exaggerater since she was young and incredibly dramatic over everything. I’m exhausted too. I’ve had her screened with several pediatricians over the years and all said she just had “healthy energy” but I finally got off a waitlist for her to have a neuropsych evaluation at a place recommended on DCUM and we are waiting for those results. Just go ahead and get one. If she does have ADHD, maybe she needs more support with those issues. The only way to know for sure is to get the testing. But it’s super expensive. [/quote]
