Elh0706,
Listen to your gut instinct! Seek out a second opinion. Our pediatrician was also quick to jump to the ADHD diagnosis, but open minded enough to accommodate my reservations and referred my son to a developmental pediatrician. He was also gracious enough to admit (and inform me) that he was wrong. Informing me was key because the final opinion of the develop pediatrician stated that he was a gifted boy in need of advanced education with possible ADHD of �undetermined� type. Our regular pediatrician told us that was code for, �We really don�t think he has it, but we are leaving the door open (with the insurance) for possible distant future follow up.�
