Attention Decifit Hyperactive Disorder ADHD and ive told my mum but she thinks im saying it because i want attention how do i get my teacher to find out i think i might have ADHD ??? i want to get tested for it x

I have an 18yo son with symptoms very close to yours. Talk to your school counselor and see if your school district has a testing facility set up already. If they can't test you, you'll need to make an appointment with a psychiatrist who specializes in pediatrics. You can find one at www.nami.org.

PS If I were suffering all of your symptoms, I think I'd want attention, too!!

Best wishes,
e-mail me anytime

Go to a psychiatry, he'll help you determine whether it is ADHD or not.
ADHD is uncommon for children older than 5 years old though..

edit : OK it can..the first symptom happen before 7 but it can last until you reach adultery..

if your mother didn't concern about this, try talking to another adult, like your teacher
