DD is 6 nearly 7, I’ve just come out of parents evening and the teacher (who is lovely and so understanding) has now agreed with me (I’ve been saying I’ve suspected ADHD since she was very small) that she sees my dd is struggling and also suspects ADHD.
Teacher has suggested speaking to the GP to get investigations going for a diagnosis.
She is struggling with impulse, mood swings, concentrating, very sensitive, very bright however distracted to the point she can’t process and learn.
She’s had to stop swimming lessons because she’s now regressing (back on armbands) because the public pool is so busy and distracting, she can’t ride a bike or scooter, struggles with coordination. She is however very bright, creative, empathic, caring and really disappointed in herself after being impulsive.
My DF and DB both have Aspergers and ADHD and I’ve had 2 CBT therapists say they think I also have ADHD and college tutors suspecting Dyslexia and Dyscalculia (I haven’t gone through with diagnosis though).
Im going to call the GP tomorrow but any other suggestions?
Teacher suggested getting some books around exploring feelings with her- any recommendations?
Thank you!
