[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My brother was like this, he willingly refused to turn in his homework even after he had completed it and brought it to school.  It was defiance.  The teachers threatened him with Fs and he still refused.  It wasn't ADHD.  He eventually was asked to leave the public high school he was going to because he had all Fs (except for PE) and had to go to the alternative high school just to graduate. Same issues in college and he flunked out.

He had major mental health issues going on.  I wouldn't necessarily sweep this under the rug as ADD or ADHD.  [/quote]

Your first paragraph makes it sound willful but then you acknowledge major mental health issues.  It is likely that testing for ADD or ADHD would also help uncover if there are any other issues happening.  These types of things often travel together. [/quote]

My parents did have my brother tested, extensively.  He doesn't have ADHD or ADD.  He has a willful defiance disorder.  [/quote]

So it sounds like they did get a diagnosis. [/quote]

So stop suggesting it has to be ADHD.  Maybe, just maybe, something else is going on.[/quote]

People are saying this is a common adhd feature, so she should go to the doctor and get a diagnosis. No one is handing out diagnoses or prescriptions on dcum. Isn’t the important thing that the kid gets a proper evaluation and treatment? [/quote]
