[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone with ADHD and a DD with ADHD, I doubt she has ADHD. I can’t tell you how obvious it is in people that truly need medication. It was obvious in my kid as a toddler. If she does have ADH, which again doubtful, it is very mild. She is just having trouble studying and wants adderall to make it easier. These stimulants are not to be taken lightly. Please google the impact it has on the cardiovascular system and things like sleep and appetite. [/quote]

ADHD looks very different in different people. My two kids both have ADHD, and you would have never guessed it, especially with the older one. The psychologist who did the full neuropsychological test, which found sustained attention to be below the 1st percentile, was shocked that the kid is a straight A student taking honors classes at a top private school.

So why did you test your kid?[/quote]
Exactly. What prompted the test then?and why take meds if things are going well?[/quote]
