[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Smart kids with ADD overcompensate until academics become too demanding. They are also quite capable of focusing on something that interests them, such as reading. I am not saying your child has ADD, but it is worth talking to a psychiatrists. Grades do not tumble from a 4 to a 3 just because she is suddenly not interested...[/quote] But there would have to be some red flags aside from grades dropping suddenly. I thought the thyroid suggestion makes sense because of our family history. But I have not seen any red flags for ADD in my DD -- what would suggest ADD aside from dropping grades? The counselor did not suggest a psychiatrist, nor did she mention ADD as a possibility. That's why I'm curious what would she have to see to suggest taking DD to a psychiatrist? And DD has been quite capable of focusing on her schoolwork in the past, so the ADD idea doesn't make sense to me unless I'm missing something. What would overcompensating look like? [/quote]
