My ds nearly 6 had an initial paediatric assessment for ADHD this week.
At the appointment the Dr. has said that she doesn't think from the information provided from myself and his school and from the actual time spent with him ( an hour ) that it indicates ADHD.Which i'm really quite relieved about but there is definately "something" IYKWIM.
She said that she would do a developmental test with him called the Griffiths test. Now i know a little about this but i'm just wondering if the fact she is going to do this with him means she may suspect something else or would they do it anyway as routine?
Also does it actually indicate anything, is it useful? I have read a bit and i know people think its good and others don't.
Any advice or help greatly appreciated!
