Hyperactivity label? [titled edited by MNHQ]

[Flojobunny]

Health visitor wants to refer DD (4 yo) for hyperactivity assessment. What is it with health care professionals trying to stick kids in to boxes.
Yes she's always on the go, yes she doesn't sleep but she's my DD and that is that. No good can come of being labelled surely.

I want to apologise for my last post as I was very upset and I lashed out. I just want to say that the last thing I would want to do is upset another mother with a child with special needs. I know only too well how tough it can be, but also how rewarding. I agree with everything euphemia said.
