[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“So you think you might have ADHD. What is it that you want to see happen?”

Too often, you hear these pronouncements, but there’s no ask. Meanwhile, you’re jumping to try to solve something without knowing when you might even get close to a solution.

What is your dd expecting to see happen as a result of her self-diagnosis? Make her name it. Then you can figure out what’s possible and what you’re willing to do. What you don’t need to do is argue with her about whether her claim is valid or not. [/quote]

Adderall. She wants Adderall.[/quote]

Likely.  I knew several kids in college who made a visit to the student health center and got a script for adhd. She doesn’t need a full neuropsych exam.  Just tell her to make a visit to the student health center or take her to her GP at home.  They can evaluate and based on her symptoms decide if medication is ok[/quote]

This is a terrible idea. If people who specialize in the field didn’t find ADHD, a GP isn’t qualified to second guess this. And you are turning your kid into an addict. [/quote]
