Какие признаки СДВГ у детей 5-6 лет?

So question, what are signs of adhd in kids? Like almost 6 year old. My son is struggling at home and at school. I googled it but rather hear experiences to help compare? My son is constantly getting sent home. Throwing tantrums, won’t sit still, not listening…this is at home too…he even started the habit of stealing Ans has never done this before 😭 so I have to check him before we leave the store. When he gets mad things go flying. I don’t know what to do. I’m struggling And this is so unlike him. His dad isn’t here right now (military) and it’s jsit me.

How is he emotionally? My daughter has ADHD and struggles with emotional dysregulation. She gets upset very easily and struggles to handle her emotions. She's also very fidgety.
Do you or your husband have ADHD?
Going through the school is a process. I recommend actually just finding a child psychologist and getting them evaluated that way.
The school refused to have a psychologist look at her because it wasn't affecting her school work (though it sounds like it's affecting his so maybe you'll have better luck)

The closest pediatric psychologist is 3 hrs away and wait list is 14 months long 🙄 so not like anything will happen for atleast two years with an evaluation which is why we went through the school since they do the same thing and report back to his pediatrician for anything else…I’ve met with him a few times and he’s amazing and I’ve heard good things…he jsit takes his time with evaluations which I rather him do that anyways so it’s done right! But emotionally he is extremely immature lol which has been since he was 3 I noticed temper tantrums are bad and he has issues processing his emotions

Yeah in KY the autism evaluation wait list was like 2 years... in GA we had my oldest evaluated within a year

Lot of times they'll have a cancellation list and you may get in sooner. I'd call and ask.

We just started the process to help my son. His teacher is amazing, maybe you just have to light a fire, but totally agree with @massgirl referral to pediatric psychologist.

@paigerue2013 what's his teacher saying? I mean my son just has a hard time focusing and if it took driving 3 hrs, I'd be there. I told them in the last meeting I just want to help him and understand the best way to help him. They told me I'd get a call within 24 hrs. I waited till Monday and let his teacher know I wasn't contacted and I just got off the phone with them less than an hour ago. They are the ones to diagnose, help you understand, help him....they are your gold! Can you go visit someone and get him evaluated there and at least have your answers.

@m00my2five, he’s on the list but I mean close to a year and a half away before anything…he’s in the process ar school with the school psychologist who is amazing and has been working with him for about a month now so it’s not like I’m sitting around doing nothing for him lol his pediatrician and school psychologist are working together on it since I can’t get in anywhere else. My middle son is autistic and he’s in at the same school but since he has a diagnosis he has access to more resources so I finally signed a ton of paperwork allowing my oldest to have access to some of those too…they have the resources they should use them even without a diagnosis 😐

@paigerue2013 Oh, if they are already working with him maybe you are in that evaluation period. We are getting ready to hit that at the end of the month. I don't think you're just sitting around watching him strughle. Hopefully that is it, there isn't much they can report other than the steps they are taking, hopefully you are able to communicate with his teacher and get it all sorted.

I would ask for the results from the school. Additionally I would ask for a referral to a pediatric psychologist from your pediatrician so he can be properly diagnosed based on the DSM-5 if he does in fact have ADHD or another disorder. Everyone experiences with ADHD are different and you wouldn't want to mislabel him based on someone else's experience.

Live in a small town in the middle of no where closest pediatric psychologist to us is 3 hrs away 🙄 who is always booked out…which I know cuz my three year old is autistic so they usually try to avoid sending anyone out because nothing ever gets done in a timely manner. They are legit booked out for 14 months out. So I’m literally screwed.

@paigerue2013 I would get put on the list with that person too. Also maybe call different ones that are willing to see patients virtually. Virtual may be a challenge but it's better than nothing at this point.

@massgirl, sadly our insurance only allows certain ones 🙄 one income family since I stay home plus also paying out of pocket for my middle sons aba, speech, and OT doesn’t give us room to pay out of pocket to someone not in insurance network. My oldest was evaluated for autism since his brother was diagnosed but they said he is good there but told me to watch as he gets older because he showed signs of adhd. So we knew about it but of course military family…moving is a constant thing and something I can’t exactly control….and having to start over with my oldest and most places won’t even do an evaluation until a certain age which currently here they do ot at school age which is 5….atleast that’s what I’m being told whether it’s true or not I don’t know….but single moming it currently and it’s been a struggle with three kids by myself…one being autistic…another having issues and of course I feel bad for my daughter because I’m always dealing with her brothers :/

Best advice I can give is talk to his pediatrician and the school. 💜
