Hi,
DS (8) displays a lot of the symptoms of adhd although only fairly mildly.
School reports have always been very good with side notes of struggling to keep attention and lack of attention to detail, but at home we are really starting to notice incredibly short attention span, ignoring or forgetting instructions etc.
He struggles to make connections with other children as doesn't take any interest in them, and although he does attend hobby clubs he has no interest beyond a fleeting "it was fun" - he has no passions.
I was hoping for advice on whether this does sound like mild adhd, and if so whether it is worth pursuing a diagnosis? What would be the benefit?
