[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 410064, member: 1514"] I dont know why anyone would say that ADHD would be rare. It is quite common actually and it is not psychiatric, it is a neurobiological condition. Very young children can and do have ADHD and many of them are extremely smart. However, not knowing colors or letters at 4 wouldnt lead me to suspect ADHD off the bat. That could be a learning disability or simply being 4...lol. Is he extremely hyperactive and impulsive in two or more places? Say like pacing or running around the house and at school? Does he like to run all the time outside instead of sitting quietly on the benches? My ADHD kid crawled very early, walked very early and was running before a year. He still hasnt slowed down! Some part of his body is in constant motion even if it is only his foot tapping. He was medicated at the age of 4.5 years of age and it was a lifesaver for him. We only gave it to him on school days for most of his school years unless he had some important event on the weekend such as a baseball game where he had to concentrate. Today he is a normal adult. Still ADHD but not on medication and fairly happy as far as normal late 20's go...lol. [/QUOTE]
