We went for a diagnostic evaluation, and ADHD wasn't found, but they diagnosed anxiety and obsessive-compulsive tendencies. He passed almost all the tests excellently and will attend sessions once a week... Now we need to figure out how to explain to the school not to react so sharply to his behavior...
Kids' problems aren't the school's problems. My son was at PE, and his stuff is left in their locker…

Kristina Yes, I'm aware, but a doctor who treats ADHD can probably tell if a child has ADHD or not. We'll go to a psychiatrist too.

Technically, diagnosing isn't within a psychologist's scope of practice. That's for a psychiatrist or neurologist. And if there is a diagnosis, the child needs medication. Tests are just tests, as we were told in psychiatry – it's important to look at the bigger picture, not just the tests.
You might be able to manage until school, but what is the teacher supposed to do with it? She has a whole classroom of kids.
