Ever since a young age my child has been quiet and shy at home and in school . In primary we never had any problems with DD minus a few arguments with a certain teacher. In year 8 of secondary school She started getting lots of c3 detentions for her behaviour in class and she’s gradually getting worse . She’s told me she’s feels like she has all the symptoms and her friends think that Too. She’s gradually getting worse and worse.I get phone call after phone call about her not focusing , shouting out ,arguing. , talking and distracting others . I have researched and it says ADHD symptoms should show through her whole life in this case she’s been acting this way for nearly a year and when I ask her she tells me she gets easily distracted .I found ONE post where it says ADHD can develop in adolescence like this case but I’m not sure . Her teachers mostly sit her at the front so they can constantly tell her to turn around or stop talking and check how much work she’s done without distracting others . She’s also constantly doing those stupid Fortnite dances to her friends in lessons when she gets the chance . I think it’s ADHD but I’m not sure .She also always hands her homework in on time despite it taking her forever . I think the online homework tracker they use helps her keep on track though.shes also very forgetful and quite ‘lazy’ yet when she’s in the mood will clean a whole house out of rubbish or scream songs and dance about. Any advice on whether it’s ADHD?
