The parent of my 6-year-old student and I were talking about possible ADHD, as he is on that pathway. I asked her which family members show similar signs, and she asked if I could see it in him. My response surprised her a little, and I could see the relief on her face.
“Oh, yes”, I said, “I can see a few ADHD traits in him; he has lots of energy and is passionate about things. He is very creative, and he has a strong sense of justice.”
She hadn’t heard it framed quite that way by a professional.
