I realize adhd is not the same for everyone but my DD has adhd and has none of these behaviors. None. [/quote]

Sure. But this kid likely needs some label to get services and ADHD is the go-to these days. [/quote]

You don't know what you're talking about.  If a kindergartener is getting suspended multiple times, they need an IEP or something that the school is legally required to adhere to.  ADHD isn't going to cut it (and might be addressed with a 504 which isn't as enforceable), and as others have said, eloping from a classroom and being selectively mute aren't typical ADHD behaviors.

OP has disappeared from this thread and didn't answer any questions about whether her child had a diagnosis from a trained professional or an IEP/504.  But if I were the OP, I would be less worried about my kid being labeled as "problem child" and more worried about keeping my kid safe because a kindergartener escaping the classroom and walking the halls without an adult is a big deal.
