[quote=Anonymous]I would guess you would get a diagnosis. Read the Vanderbilt survey and see what you think. But, unless you medicate, most of adhd treatment at that age is parent coaching. So you could juat read up and research these tactics on your own, and see if anything helps. Its sounds more inattentive than hyperactive which can generally go undiagnosed until executive functioning is truly needed - high school or college for lots of people. My son was very obviously hyperactive type and was diagnosed at age 5. For him medicine helps, and having an IEP at school has been wonderful, mostly for social skills and behavior attention. If you do getba diagnosis, you are not required to even do anything at all, so one way to look at it is, sure why not investigate, but on the other hand that is money and time that you might use other ways.[/quote]
