[quote=Anonymous]We had a diagnosis of a borderline/mild/inattentive sort of ADHD, and after a couple of years of watching and waiting, we realized that we were almost handcuffing our child by not embracing the diagnosis. She had to work so much harder than peers just to get through the day. So, OP, please keep an eye on your child's ability to direct her attention, regardless of diagnosis. Inattentive ADHD is very often overlooked in girls, especially by teachers who don't know the kids as well as the parents. It takes huge amounts of effort for these kids to sustain attention in the boring environment of school. If she truly has attention problems, going through the extra tutoring and extra work to ameliorate the dyslexia could be tortuous. [/quote]
