My dd16 ticks every box for A.D.H.D inattentive type. We have been through a very timely parent course, voice of the child test, parent history, and a leading clinician and nurse have decided that she is not a.d.h.d. inattentive and is discharged. She failed the qb test so were unable to go on that, however i am upset that the faffing around of the nurse and poor instructions, not enabling her to feel at ease was largely to blame for this. So if she experiences every single symptom, where do i go on this please?

Your probably best going private. Looking for someone that specialises more in inattentive and girls as they present very different to boys.

When you say failed QB do you mean she didnt show any inattentive signs? My eldest adhder was borderline on QB - technically normal (incredibly hyperactive) but technician carrying out test noticed he didnt stop talking, fidgeting, swinging feet etc but was very good at keeping head still and staring at screens while doing it.

Did you have reports from school stating inattentive problems?
