So what's the difference between true add and a gifted child with excitabilities?
The first one will be diagnosed by a doctor and the second one will be diagnosed by a teacher?
LOL. Also, once "over excitabilities" become a functional problem they aren't over excitabilities they are an issue that needs to be assessed by an expert.
Blackcat - my DD is 8 not 9, but it causes me no end of frustration that I would only have to tell her once to get dressed at three and now at 8 she needs to be told way more than 3 times, and I have to physically do it myself somedays (if she's not had her medication)... It peaked for awfulness at about 6-7, it is improving a little now. At 2-3 getting dressed was still and challenging and interesting task so her brain stayed with her body.
