Re: Are doctors more informed about ADHD now?

[Anonymous]

Thank you to Lisa SB and Irviniel for your posts. I have seen the doctor who had no qualms about referring my daughter to a specialist. She has many hyperactive symptoms. I think it would be a good idea to have the teacher’s input also, b/c kids can hyperfocus during interesting time and seem different for a short appointment.

I agree that the primarily innatentive subtype is more difficult to spot. I believe I have this subtype and am still searching for someone who will entertain the thought that I have this. Most professionals seem skeptical when I tell them I think I have it, so I hope to find someone who can give me an honest assessment. Fingers crossed about the next psychiatrist.

I hope I can keep up with the rewards. Everything seems overwhelming right now but I hope I can get it into our routine.
