[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 434250, member: 1550"] More, much more, accurate then the Connors is the TOVA test. It is a computer test for ADHD. I woudln't give my kid ANY ADD/ADHD medication until the child took the TOVA test and showed ADHD. I took it and my two kids took it. Connors is subjective, the opinion of the person who answers. TOVA is an actual test to show how well or poorly a child can pay attention. It isn't subjective. I medicated my son fast. I am sorry that I did as he didn't actually have ADHD as his primary diagnosis. I am leery of fast medicaters. I am also leery of any professional who would give a six year old a diagnosis of Conduct Disorder. If I were you, I'd get a second opinion. Go to a neuropsychologist. Insist on your child taking the TOVA test as well as doing the Conners. A lot of disorders make a child score way up there on Conners, including autism and bipolar. But TOVA is exclusive to ADHD. My autistic son did very well on the TOVA test. My daughter with ADD completely failed it, which makes sense. She has a terrible time paying attention. Good luck, no matter what you decide to do :) [/QUOTE]
