Hi there!
So, I just wanted some advice. My partner has an eleven year old daughter from a previous relationship. I love her very much and we get on really well. However, having worked in schools, I have noticed that she has a lot of characteristics typical of a child her age with ADHD. For example, she talks excessively (to the point where it can get extremely tiring for others around her) has difficulty concentrating and daydreams frequently, is very messy and also acts much younger than she is. ADHD from my experience manifests quite differently in girls than it does with boys. For example, with boys, behavioural problems and hyperactivity tend to be more of an issue, whereas the behaviours I have described are more commonly seen in girls with ADHD. I have suspected this for some time but I would like to let my partner know, because if this is the case then I think it is important that she receives the right support, particularly now that she has just started high school. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
