While this is kind of good for explaining to parents who are not very well versed in neuropsychiatric disorders, I feel i just have to add a small note:
Sometimes people with ADHD will be heavily governed by motivation. Eg a person who practises guitar for hours on end but cant do the homework. I think that a better version would be something more long term, like do your homework everyday for a week. That would make the difference between adhd and nt very clear.
I personally believe MSG(MonosodiumGlutamate) is creating hyperactivity in our children. It's an excitotoxin being put into a multitude of food products we consume EVERY DAY.
You, my good man, have hit the nail squarely on the head. I have spent a good deal of time trying to think of good ways to explain the difference between ADHD proper, and behavioural issues, etc. This is perfect. Thank you...
having a short attention span or being hyperactive are personality traits how do you know its some serious neurological illness and not just there personality personally i think parents would rather hear they're kid has a problem than hearing your kid just need to learn to focus, same goes with dylexia i think i parent would rather hear they're kid has and learning problem than they are just a little bit stupid
If you do that test, please remember to help your ADHD child to complete the task afterward so he doesn't have to blame himself for it. It builds low self-esteem.
as a woman with adhd who was diagnosed at age 17, I fell that there are many factors contributing to the rise in people diagnosed with ADHD 1. doctors and practices make a profit and gain rewards from drug companies for selling as many drugs as they can. the long term effect of exposure to certain chemicals in food, drining water, and our environment which where not present 30 years ago, and that we do not know the full effects of. 3 awareness of the disorder which was not understood till now.
as the parent of a true adhd child i agree too many parents are rushing to doctors the minute their child starts acting hyper. my sons doctor even stated that to me. the other problem i have is parents thinking that meds are a cure all. my son is doing well at now age 7. we have what i have named our support team. 1. therapist 2. nutritionalist 3. open communication with teachers 4. structure at home 5. low dose meds as not to kill all of his personality(: and 6. lots of love and understanding
Thank you for your comment. I'm glad to read that you are taking the "team" approach to helping your son. Best of luck with him and thanks for tuning in.

Tested? Ummmm, what test would that be doctor? Since there is no objective test that can be done, what test are you referring to?
