To be honest, I think an evaluation based on the Connors alone is also rather risky.  They do use that here and the first child psychiatrist made reference to it - in time as there was no sense of urgency to arrive at a diagnosis.  The evaluation of ADHD in France seems very uneven.  I belong to a forum here for parents of ADHD kids and some of them report having a whole battery of evaluations before an ADHD diagnosis is arrived at... more than I've heard you speaking about in the States, actually.  But in my particular neck of the woods, it all seems a bit retrograde.  Just the luck of the draw.  I don't know at what point I'm going to give up trying to get a diagnosis and just accept that J is going to be seen as turbulent and me as a bad parent...
