[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just as a counterpoint to the argument that they hand out ADHD diagnoses like candy, I was convinced third dc (5 yo) had inattentive adhd - neuropsych said nope. I had gone in armed with what I thought was abundant evidence but alas. Kindergarten was so rough, his behavior at home was terrible. Then - he got through it and a year later I wouldn’t guess that dx for him anymore. He does have mild cerebral palsy which accounts for certain challenges but no neurodiversity or other disability. These providers do know what they are doing, at least more so than Dr. Google. [/quote]

I'm a professional who works with kids with disabilities. I don't personally diagnose but I work with many who do. No, ADHD diagnoses are NOT handed out like candy. This is a wrong and misleading narrative driven by ignorance or maybe worse.[/quote]

+1 I think maybe worse. There are very obvious trolls on DCUM telling people they've never met, whose kids they have never met, that their kids' diagnoses are wrong and that the parents sought out the diagnosis in kindergarten to help with college admissions or some other BS. What's their agenda?[/quote]
