Can I just say something with hopes no one gets upset here?
What I want parents to bear in mind is not to "diagnose" your children according to criteria for all the various disorders of children and even adults, I stress if there is one ounce of doubt, and/or question(s) in regards to your children and behaviours, you should check it out "professionally", have a child psychologist and/or psychiatrist evaluate them. This will prevent a variety of labels that can "accumulate" when left to "self diagnostics", internet sites are very helpful but are not the same as seeing a professional, also bear in mind the pediatrician is not the recommended type of doctor for any psychological evaluations, many are taking it upon themselves to do so and handing out ritalin like lollies. Psychiatric Association claims this practice is doing more harm to kids (especially if they are bipolar and not add/adhd)
Sorry, I'll get off the soapbox now.
Just putting my 2 cents in, hate to see kids getting "messed" up these days, this wasn't personally intended for you, just had to post this for the public eyes.
Take care,
