[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 432237, member: 11791"] The trick with labels is to remember that it is an inexact science. This is true in any field. For example, say the word "apple"... what do YOU see in your mind's eye? probably NOT the same thing that I see... yours might be bright red, while mine is yellow. Yours may be tart, mine may be sweet... and so on. The label "ADHD" describes a RANGE of issues and behaviors. People with ADHD will fall into one or more of several "clusters"... inattentive, hyperactive, executive function issues, etc. For example, K2 would NEVER be called hyperactive (unless you count how much time she spends moving her jaw) - and K1's problem really isn't inattention... but they both have ADHD. The label is a diagnosis. It SHOULD provide for accommodations etc. - but its the details that will determine what those accommodations are, not the diagnosis. So, you need both... the diagnosis, and the detailed explanations. [/QUOTE]
