[quote=Anonymous]Op - I think you’re wise for being conservative, if your child Truly is borderline. I agree that ADHD tends to be overdiagnosed and, in some cases, over medicated. And I am saying this as a mom to a child who is medicated for severe ADHD. You’re fortunate that you have option of being borderline and being able to decide. We didn’t. The judgements on this board would go either way. Some parents will be offended or “rubbed the wrong way” if your DC was borderline and you went with the official diagnosis bc then you would be siphoning resources from kids who truly have ADHD and really need the services. Now posters are rubbed the wrong way bc you might be denying your kid help she needs. How do they know? We all just do the best we can. I would also suggest watching closely and having her retested. No need to rush to diagnose especially if your doctor agrees![/quote]
