Common Questions and Answers about Adhd questionnaire child
adhd
I think it could very easily not catch a child with ADD. The gold standard for diagnosis is to do a questionnaire with the teachers and parents. ADD and ADHD are very different. Good link here - https://helpguide.org/articles/add-adhd/attention-deficit-disorder-adhd-in-children.htm
My personal opinion is that this test is just a way for inexperienced professionals to deal with a problem they have little knowledge of.
Are you in the United States (which state) or England?
The conners questionnaire filled out by myself and the teacher indicates ADHD in addition to learning disabilities. I would like to know if ADHD can lower IQ tet scores due to the fact that he could not concentrate on the actual test. I am aware my son has learning and behavioral disorder but I am not being able to accept the "intellectual deficiency" indicative of mental retardation.
He has been tested and does not score ADHD his therapist is a PHD in child Phycology His dad is home but not very present other than to yell and scare this does not go on just in school His teacher just called me he hit a boy so hard on the hand he left welts now off to school we go in morning she is at her wits end. I just explained to him this morning before school the consequences of hitting can be very serious and criminal and now this.
They can assess a person/child against a list of symptoms that are collectively named ADD/ADHD - for lack of much better understanding. When they test for the flu, they can list the symptoms and check them off (temp, ache, cough, etc), but they can also TEST for a virus and yes/no its there. But in medicine those symptoms alone can mean many things. Same for attention and hyperactivity.

s smart but he has been classified as ADHD due to focus issues. Lately I have seen some unusual behaviors, which my ex-husband and I have been trying to address. Yesterday we were told by his teacher that he was seen picking his nose and eating it. After sitting down with him, we found out that he was modeling another student in the class and didn't see what he was doing as inappropriate. Also when I take him to a movie, he sometimes covers his ears because of some of the loud sounds.
Any chance he has something like ADHD or ADD?
Here are two links that should help you decide if he might.

I am surprised the teachers have not asked for testing of him.
You might also want to look into buying "Cool down and work through anger" or "When I feel angry".
There are some really excellent books on add/adhd for parents that Sandman 2 recommends. I think you would find them very helpful. Scroll down through the posts and you should see them or I will send him a note to leave them here for you.
But, I have seen numerous times where when the child was diagnosed and the parent started researching adhd - they said, "wait, so that explains why I always acted the way I did." And ADD or inattentive adhd is very easy to miss by doctors, teachers etc. So point being, someone in your family could have adhd or add and unless you really know what to look for - you wouldn't know it. Point being, my brother-in-law has adhd.
For Years the complaint from all my daughters teachers is that she does not stay on task in class and does not comprehend her school work at all she's getting F's and being moved on by this ridiculous school. I asked her if she could please sit still in class and she said " I cant Mom every time I try my leg twitches and it makes me mad.." Her Teacher wants her to keep her hand on the desk but she also says that is really hard for her to do. does anyone know what this is?
Is it possible for an ex special ed teacher to test daughter for asperger autism? She was diagnosed with adhd, but from observing her, she doesn't display all features, more features of asperger. I've spent well over 1000 dollars for a misdiagnosis. I've read that the testing for asperger is a questionarre, and can get them via internet, by down loading? Concerned mother Susan

If I may chime in on this, although a little late.
School is usually the area most affected by a child's ADD/ADHD. It may not manifest itself while your child is, say, watching televiosion or playing with his sister. You might not notice it when he is riding in the car or playing ball in the yard. But when it comes to listening, following directions, organizing his desk, breaking an assignment up into steps, etc-- tasks associated with school-- the ADD/ADHD may become apparent.
I'm still a work in progress :o), so I can't help with your questionairre; however there is a recent article in Clinical Care Options that discusses the term "cure" as is used in HCV management. Here's the addy:

You'll probably be asked to register, but it's quick and free.
I agree with JGF25, My daughter also goes to a small private Catholic School & her teachers have been wonderful & very helpful. Know the different options for treatment including psychological counseling vs medications. I opted for Concerta & it has been working well for her. I give it to her 7 days a week because she is ADHD, know the difference between ADD & ADHD. ADD is only Attention Deficit vs ADHD includes Hyperactivity.
I don't think you out grow the ADD/ADHD but with age and maturity learn to deal with it better. I think this is really on an individual basis. It depends on what you are doing in life as to whether it interupts your path. I believe you can go to ADD/ADHD.com and it has a questionnaire as to whether it has gone from childhood to adulthood and is causing any problems. Read about it and see what you think. Goodluck!
Diagnosing a child as young as 4 with ADD/ADHD would probably not be a good idea as kids vary a lot at that age and things that go along with ADD are normal 4 year old behaviors. For example, it is 5 minutes that a child of 4 should be able to sit and do a project. That is why preschools with the exception of open play have everything in super short increments. Throwing a toy when angry is not unheard of in a 4 year old. I would work to give him other ways of expressing it.
I have read a few things about ADHD and Aspergers Syndrome and she has some of the symptoms of both. What should I do?
Wondering what experience people have had with the different medications for ADHD. My son will be turning 7 soon, and some days I don't think he needs medication and other days I feel like it might be helpful if he were on something. However, I've been reading about the different kinds and their side effects, and now I'm terrified to put him on something.
I'm also interested in hearing if people have tried any herbal supplements, or CBD oil.
