[QUOTE="DDD, post: 342832, member: 35"] Your daughter may have been seeking the ADD diagnosis. because it is socially acceptable and doesn't have the "stigma" of mental health disorder. It' almost an "in" diagnosis for peer groups. My difficult child gs, for example, is comfortable with ADHD and with Aspergers [B]but[/B] he will not even mention or discuss BiPolar (BP) or schitzoaffective disorders. The first two are OK...the last two are for people who "are nuts". Depression was also unacceptable in his vocabulary. Truthfully I have never heard of a Conner being based on patient input alone. Even in our small community Teachers and family members are solicited to get a pattern for ADD diagnoses. Weird. I'd watch her like a hawk if she starts stimulant medications. They are great for many ADHDers but the sell on the streets just like uppers. Fingers crossed for you. DDD [/QUOTE]
