Girls with ADHD

[SecondUsername]

I’ve read the symptoms of ADHD and do wonder if my DD has it.

But I also wonder if it’s immaturity (she’s 6 ish), or just her personality, or maybe even something else.

AIBU to ask for your day to day experiences of having a girl with ADHD?

I’m asking for experiences with girls as it can present quite differently in boys.

Also, how Long did diagnosis take?

Many thanks for any insights. I’m hoping they help me to see if I’m way off thinking she might have it.

Thanks for the reassurance @SecondUsername

@gcgirlsrock sounds like a good approach to take. I'm hoping to spin it positively as a means of helping her to find what works best for her.

This is an old thread now but I previously posted on it about my daughter, who at the time was on a waiting list. I can't quite seem to use my old username though!

I just wanted to update that she had both Autism and ADHD assessments recently and the conclusion was a diagnosis of ADHD.
