[QUOTE="Malika, post: 410436, member: 11227"] Sorry, the imperfect medium of communication that is the internet - in saying I am open to persuasion I didn't at all have in my mind that you might want to persuade me, SRL :-) Simply that, as you say, these are early days yet and there may come a time where, despite my reluctance, I would welcome a diagnosis of ADHD. I guess things have moved on a little in France. ADHD (TDAH) as it is known here is now widely known among psychologists, doctors, etc although less so among the general population. There is no difficulty in getting a diagnosis if that is what one wants :-) Indeed, I have a psychologist ready and willing, by the sounds of it, to make a diagnosis of ADHD based on some questionnaire she wants to do next time (Connors?) But we are also going to be seen by the area school psychologist and the local medico-pyschological centre so I would think that between all that some light will be shed! ADHD does seem to be over-diagnosed... perhaps one is wise to be cautious. There is time to see and evaluate... [/QUOTE]
