[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My family is in a similar situation with an almost 6 year old.  Getting a diagnosis in order to get medicine has been extremely frustrating.  What tips do you have for getting a diagnosis in order to get medicine?  The wait to see the specialist is over a year and unless the child is extreme it seems the doctors want to go down the therapy route to address behavior rather than medicate.  The mornings and nights and weekends are exhausting and taking its toll on our family.[/quote]

OP here. Our pediatrician will prescribe it. Just schedule a visit. It’s been a persistent issue for us and since she could see it in her notes and we have a family history she was the one actually pushing us to Medicate. [/quote]

Agree.  Start with the pediatrician in the interim.  They can prescribe meds for you until you can get a full evaluation.  Only one of my kids had a full neuropsych eval and this was more for learning disabilities.  We had no idea they had ADHD-it's mild. The other kid was diagnosed by a psychiatrist just going though a checklist since we were not at all concerned with learning issues.

I have 2 ADHD kids and an ADHD husband (diagnosed after we found out the kids have it). [/quote]
