[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 463768, member: 11791"] Building on Hound Dog's post... Part of the problem is that too often the "H" in ADHD is the primary "culprit" in people's minds. How do we get these kids to sit still? Hyperactivity is more subjective - and age/development dependent - than the other issues that are part of ADD/ADHD. I'm wary of early ADHD diagnosis based on hyperactivity. Based on focus issues? Those are more obvious - IF you know what to look for (and teachers generally do NOT catch the inattentive type). But - statistically? 3 kids out of a class of what, 20 or so? Would be within range for normal proportions of ADD/ADHD kids. Literature varies widely - from 5% to 15% of population may be ADD/ADHD. Chances are every classroom has at least one kid with ADD/ADHD - possibly 2, maybe 3. [/QUOTE]
