I wish that people who do not have children with an actual ADHD diagnosis knew that there is much more to ADHD/ADD than hyperactivity and lack of focus. We took our daughter to be evaluated for extreme tantrums and rages, for her extremely low tolerance for the simplest of frustrations--not for hyperactivity or lack of focus--though she is hyperactive and incredibly distractible, we thought it was totally normal because she is young. Come to find out she is WAY more hyperactive and distractible than her peers. This is how we got a diagnosis at age 4. I get sick of hearing that all kids have short attention spans and are hyper at 4 and that she is too young to know. But people who are unfamiliar with ADHD (as in they do not have an ADHD kid or live with one every day) tend to make a lot of assumptions based on the very little, and often incorrect, information that they have. That's one of many things I wish people knew. It is something I will never get tired of discussing as I get ready to send my daughter into a world that doesn't seem to understand her.
