My niece has never been able to do so, she is 17 now and still struggles in school.

I have seen many children displaying clear signs of ADHD but it's a shame that it is such a long process to get a diagnosis. It's also hard to have 'that' conversation with a parent who understandably doesn't want to hear that their child may need extra support.<br />Ruth@playworkeatrepeatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8802262832613232638.post-55019924277318065172022-12-16T15:44:57.351-05:002022-12-16T15:44:57.351-05:00I know this post will be so informative for moms e...I know this post will be so informative for moms everywhere. My husband feels that he probably had ADHD growing up, but it just wasn't recognized back in the 70's!Tanya https://www.blogger.com/profile/15451171508299813896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8802262832613232638.post-87729030546692235142022-12-16T08:11:38.296-05:002022-12-16T08:11:38.296-05:00I think both of my boys have some symptoms of ADHD...I think both of my boys have some symptoms of ADHD. One is very hyperfocused and the other has the anxiety and disorganization symptoms. I'm hoping to get them both evaluated this coming year because they are wanting some accommodations at school!Dara @ Not In Jerseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16004533157267233128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8802262832613232638.post-109069469119845572022-12-16T05:46:47.097-05:002022-12-16T05:46:47.097-05:00This was very interesting.

Also, growing up in the 80s, no one cared what you had, you just had to be good in school. This is a funny coincidence because of one my 20 years old twins is finally getting tested today for it. He didn't mention it to me until he turned 18 and then I couldn't handle any of his medical appointments, so he finally started trying to get diagnosed. There was a long wait apparently and it's finally happening. I wish I had checked on this sooner, but he did so well in school, and it wasn't even on my radar. Preemies can be candidates for learning issues, so I was on the lookout, but he never acted liked a kid with ADD or ADHD. I believe there are even college scholarships for kids with different diagnoses - keep that in mind for the future. Thank you for bravely sharing and I am so glad she has a great plan now.
