My DD 6 yrs has just had an initial diagnosis of ADHD - very chatty,poor impulse control and on the go from 6 till 10. Also poor social skills.
Wondering if anyone has an girl with ADHD and any suggestions of sites for information and any strategies you have found helpful.
Also very curious about outcomes for older girls with ADHD as the paediatrician said she was less inclined to medicate girls and that they tended to ''grow out of it'' which made me a bit as it is not what I have been reading - am wondering if she has an old fashioned view of ADHD.
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.

Girls with ADHD?
