Our son was identified by his Kindergarten teacher for evaluation. She was, by all accounts, the absolute best K teacher in the district (and sooo did not need to work, her husband was a neurosurgeon, she just really loved working with the little kids). His evaluation came back “highly intelligent, very ADD”. The hyperactive component hasn’t really been dominant with our son, otherwise I likely would have caught it first.
Total side conversation…I don’t ever recall having been distracted by other kids “moving too much” in elementary school, but absolutely recall teachers losing their shit at kids for reasons that baffled the rest of the class. Could it be that young kids don’t find ADHD and ADD kids “distracting”, but adults do?
