Gillybean01, Hello again, I am not following you. I promise. I just happen to have ADHD and my diagnosis didn't come until I was an adult. I am a female and I do remember having troubles in school staying in line and being easily distarcted and I also had impulse control problems, inattention and daydreaming. I was very hyperactive but I was too afraid to really do anything to get myself in trouble at an earlier age. Then I started skipping school and all the other stuff teens do.

What you are describing may be on the ADHD spectrum but their seems to be other factors that may or may not be ADHD. There is something called conduct disorder. This could be many other things so I would get her evaluated as soon as you can. The earlier she is assessed the earlier she can get help. You may need to be persistent with any evaluator as girls do get missed and overlooked for ADHD and other behavior disorders as I did. Best of luck to you. Let us know what you found out.
