ADHD Testing for Adults Who Suspect a Missed Childhood Diagnosis
For many adults, the question does not arrive dramatically. It creeps in. A child gets evaluated at school, and the parent hears the clinician describe distractibility, emotional reactivity, forgotten instructions, and chronic lateness.
