[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What counts as inattentive behavior at this age? I have an 8 year old boy who doesn’t always read all directions and his desk is a disaster, his behavior can be silly once in a while and the teacher said, “Yes, he is an 8 year old boy!”[/quote] Teachers see enough of these kids that they will let you know if what they see rises to the level of "inattentive behavior" worthy of neuropsych testing, at least for the boys (girls tend to be under-diagnosed, that's a whole other issue). We followed our 7-year old son's teacher's suggestion, started the diagnosis process ASAP, and had a diagnosis in hand by age 8. If you're concerned and your son's teacher says the behavior is standard for "an 8 year old boy," then I wouldn't worry![/quote]
