[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Data from a meeting with had with the head of school.

I say this for 2 reasons:
1. mainstreams privates do have neurodiverse kids. 
2. It is CRAZY how many kids get dx now. Kids on so many meds. I know it's necessary for the most part (certainly for mine). But is it really a neurodiversity if half the population has it? Idk exactly what my thought is but would love to hear others thoughts...[/quote]

Eh I am sure there are examples of kids that developed ADHD symptoms after COVID, but I doubt that is the main cause. I think virtual schooling made some issues more visible leading more diagnoses. I also think there is more awareness leading to more diagnoses. My 5 yo has "subtle" ASD that was diagnosed this year. Looking back, DC has definitely always been neurodiverse, we just didn't understand what it was. Started struggling long before the first bout of COVID.[/quote]
