[quote=Anonymous]We were getting pushed to get our K son an ADHD diagnosis for similar boredom-induced behavior. ADHD didn't seem like the right answer but we considered it. We also had him evaluated for giftedness. He tested as highly to profoundly gifted. Changed circumstances --> changed behavior. No more "ADHD symptoms" with challenging work. ADHD should be a diagnosis of last resort, not the first thing you think of. Way too much "it's ADHD!" happening when there are other factors at work. [/quote]
