Jamie is poster boy for classic adhd emphasis on the H especially when young. He just had the wind knocked out of his sails recently when he had to go to Hailie's teachers conference and the teacher was pointing out Hailie's problems but she noticed Jamie fidgeting in the chair. She asked him if he had ever been diagnosed with anything and he told her yes, ADHD but he had grown out of it when he entered HS. She gently told him that he hadnt. She pointed out all the little things he was doing while he was sitting there were signs of ADHD. He asked her if him losing his gear and other stuff was also signs and she told him yes. He was shocked. I have no idea why because I have been telling that to him for years but I guess coming from someone else just hit him harder or he listened to someone else differently than mom.
Personally I am thinking his daughter may be more of a combo of anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) than adhd but I have no clue if I can ever convince them to take her to be tested. She may have to get a whole lot worse before anything gets done.
