I'd never recommend self-diagnosing something like this. ADHD is something that is so often incorrectly diagnosed. My advice would be to take her to a child psychologist -- one that specializes in ADHD. Be careful, many of them are quick to diagnose and medicate as well.

I am ADHD and personally would push the coping route more than the medication route. I was/am a pretty severe case. Early in HS, I decided that medication for life was not the answer to my problems.

You're right about the diagnosis thing. I recall hearing a figure back in the day that 15% of males were thought to have this condition where only 1% of females did. I think we're quickly finding those numbers are a little closer together.

Good luck!
