[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My oldest (11th grade boy) has serious ADHD to the point that he had an IEP.

My middle child (9th grade girl) is now showing signs but she has been able to get by through middle school without anyone raising and concerns.  Once we had her screened my heart broke to see what she has been struggling with.

Please ask you daughter if she would be OK with a screening so that you can support her.  [/quote]

Not everything is ADHD and this is not about your kids.  If she managed well all this time, getting a diagnosis and medication isn't going to fix it.[/quote]

What a cruel response, PP. You should be ashamed of yourself. How would you like it if you shared some family struggles that you believe are pertinent to the matter at hand, only to get pushed away callously by someone with no understanding at all of the problem?

The person you are responding to is absolutely correct. OP's daughter may have ADHD. The signs are all there, and if there is a diagnosis, treating a hitherto untreated condition WILL MOST CERTAINLY HELP!

- mother of an ADHD/HFA child. ADHD, anxiety and autism are a lot more prevalent in the population than you think, and that's not going to change just because people like you don't want to believe it and feel irrationally targeted every time someone mentions such neurodivergence.[/quote]
