if no previous disruptive behavior.... cant be ADHD
disruptive, lack attention to doing tasks, etc, etc , behavior needs to be in more than 1 setting = school and home.
also as i remember ADHD is dx as ADHD before age of 7 or 8

d i think... the doc will have to verify the diagnosis if there is one before moving further. getting the history from the school would be the first step
