I would not remove parents from that conclusion.
As a parent to two, one with ADD, one with ADHD, and as a spouse to an educator, from both experiences (being a parent and watching her) I can tell you that both need to work on and understand the underlying systems that drive the behavior. My wife has had to talk to parents about kids and their behavior and (now that she’s got experience) recommend that they consider having the child evaluated. Parents often miss the symptoms for a variety of reasons. We did with our 1st, but after having the experience, we were better able to recognize the signs.
