[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ADHD is a spectrum and most kids grow out of it as they mature. If you have to ask on a forum then your child doesn’t need the diagnosis. Read up on it and you’ll find ways you can help impact his organization. It takes time and patience and effort to learn these skills they’re not automatic. Your child doesn’t not have adhd and the harm you’ll put him through by testing for it is irreparable. [/quote]

The harm you’ll put them through by testing is irreparable?? Please enlighten us more on this one.

And no, most don’t grow out of it if it’s truly a disorder. You grow out of general childhood bad habits and maturity kicks in. But if it’s truly ADHD you don’t grow out of it you just learn ways to manage it.[/quote]

Every single person learns to manage non ideal elements or characteristics of their personality and habits in order to maximize their success: at school, work, in social life.  How is this any different.  Not everyone short of perfect has a “disorder” that needs a medical diagnosis.  [/quote]
