[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My oldest (11th grade boy) has serious ADHD to the point that he had an IEP.

My middle child (9th grade girl) is now showing signs but she has been able to get by through middle school without anyone raising and concerns.  Once we had her screened my heart broke to see what she has been struggling with.

Please ask you daughter if she would be OK with a screening so that you can support her.  [/quote]

Not everything is ADHD and this is not about your kids.  If she managed well all this time, getting a diagnosis and medication isn't going to fix it.[/quote]

Seriously. Everyone wants to chalk up adolescent recklessness, laziness and stubbornness up to ADHD.

Sometimes kids just need a reality check and a kick in the pants. How about that?[/quote]

If I hear 'executive functioning disorder' one more time I think my head will explode.  [/quote]

LOL! Right! We've pathololigzed teens just being teens with all kinds of nonsense!  As if it's some radical, new phenomenon that parents struggle to get their teens to sit still, communicate responsibly, listen to adults, obey instructions and do their homework.

It's already been long scientifically proven that boys get spacey during puberty with the huge surge of testosterone...it's a normal characteristic to lose water bottles, coats, forget things, and both my boys had a short stint of that in late elementary/early middle school.
