[quote=Anonymous]You have gotten a lot of excellent advice but I just wanted to suggest that your daughter might enjoy an activity like Plated once a month that the two of you could do together. You choose the meals you want to make from their website and they send virtually everything. My husband and I started ordering it as a monthly at home date and really look forward to it. I can totally see it being a great mother/daughter activity for a kid interested in cooking.

Also,  I was diagnosed with inattentive ADD when I was in college. I was told that many girls do fly under the radar because they are not disruptive in class and compensate for their problem areas. I also remember my guidance counselor in high school saying that she had never seen such a disparity in SAT scores as there was a 160 point difference between my verbal and math sections. At the time, she also said that if I had been a boy, more testing would have been ordered during my school years but as a well behaved girl who clearly was not stupid, I was shuffled along. I never went the meds route after diagnosis but benefited greatly from learning executive functioning techniques and other coping mechanisms.

Lastly, you sound like an awesome and concerned mom -- your daughter is a lucky girl! [/quote]
