[QUOTE="4timmy, post: 414625, member: 6553"] My take is that ADHD seems to be the more popular diagnosis for any child who is hyper and can't seem to stay on task and pay attention... a lot of young children are like this so I tend to agree it's too early to know 100%. We were told difficult child was ADHD/ODD when he was 5 by our family doctor. At 3 our pediatrician told us he was just more immature and "strong willed" than other children and suggested we hold him back from starting school....... We didn't get the full picture of what was going on with him until he was 10 when I joined this forum and got him to a neuro-psychiatric. Obviously, all difficult child's are unique, so maybe it's more obvious in some than others. Oh, and stimulants NEVER worked after about a week of taking them. He's taking Intuniv for is inability to focus now, but I couldn't tell you if it's really that effective. [/QUOTE]
