ADHD in girls (age 7)

hi, my daughter has just gone into year three, and at the end of her first day back she said to me…

’mummy am I a bad girl?’
I of course said no, and asked why she said that.
she eventually said she’d got it all wrong all day today, and all her friends said she was doing things on purpose but she didn’t know what she’d done wrong.

she has always struggled with friendships as she’s dominant, will speak over people, lots of big emotions with rejection (if someone didn’t want to play her game etc). But she also the sweetest little girl & I just wish I could help her.

any advice please?

Adhd is much more than just friendship issues or talking over other kids.
What do school think? Is she inattentive or fidgety or interrupting the teacher.
Is she meeting expectations.
Girl friendships do get harder and some can try excluding others too.

Is she one of older kids
Does she get invited to play dates and parties?

@Tiredrealthank you for replying.

theres many other traits but I just wrote the ones relating to friendship. She’s very high energy, fidgety & interrupts a lot. Academically she’s very bright & doing well.

she’s one of the youngest in her year.
not really invited to play dates or parties
