[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 589681, member: 11791"] Ah. Video. Which I don't do because... I can't hear well enough. But... the "other hand" stuff? That's not "really" ADHD. That's related more closely to Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)/Aspie and/or sensory processing/integration. One of the biggest problems we have is that - DSM V notwithstanding - nobody really agrees on what the terms mean. In our part of the world (one tiny corner of Canada), ADD/ADHD = attention or attention + executive function problems. Anything else is add-on or different diagnosis. And yes, I know people who are definitely ADD (K2 is one of these)... who have NO other issues. I also notice that a LOT of studies focus on the boys... gender bias. Girls get missed more often. Had to fight tooth-and-nail for K2 to get a diagnosis. Her attention management problem is HUGE - and highly receptive to medications. [/QUOTE]
