blzzrdqueen the lack of "H" is the problem as I saw it. Because my DD was not hyper no one would say she was ADD. It took me years to get someone to listen to me. Once I did the whole world changed for her. Be persistant. you are fighting for your child. No one else will. I did not tell the school when she began to take Concerta. They did not help me when I needed them and I was not going to let them brand her the way this school district does. So as far as the school knew she just "outgrew" the problems she had from first grade to 10th when I finally got her meds. Good luck.
