ADHD signs?

[dorris88]

Hey so I have a 2.5 YO and I've been anxious for ADHD signs for ages.

Having ADHD myself I am naturally looking for them all the time, but as I wasn't diagnosed until 17 I haven't a clue what signs to look out for in young children. Or even if they are present at this age.

My DD is so lively but in an amazing way she's so funny and happy but she's gogogo all day.

She does have moments often where she will he start staring in space mid asking for something which is relatable.

I'm just looking for tips of any parents who have had children diagnosed with ADHD

When I got my diagnosis my mum said 'great now people will think your disabled' so she is totally not my go to for advice 😂

Early signs are fidgeting and constantly having to bring attention back to the task. But I honestly didn't start to really have concerns until mine was about 8. I'm not sure what you look for in a younger child.

We knew and peaditrician knew that's our dc1 had adhd from age 3/4 but he couldn't officially be diagnosed until he was 6

We just had our Son diagnosed via nhs at 4 this was in merseyside.
