Yeah but i want to do iia again because , It didnt go very far last time

feylya

Then why didn't you just bump the other thread?

bounty_hunter

Perhaps you would have been best to start this thread in After Hours or the like, seeing as you haven't phrased it as a personal issue as such, and also seeing as you already have a thread on the same topic in PI. Why not ask a mod to move it? You might get a better response in another forum.

Because i dont knjow how , If i had known i wouldnt of done this.:)

feylya

You post in it....

bounty_hunter

Bump just means to add more posts to an old thread so it moves higher up in the list of topics. We're going to get a clip round the ear for off-topic posting if we keep this up. OP, I would advise you to ask one of the PI mods to move this thread for you, you'll more than likely get more comments elsewhere.

OK, I'm going to leave this thread open, but only helpful related comments from now on. I do feel that it is a PI as the OP was diagnosed with this disorder, so comments from anyone with such an experience will be appreciated

To the OP, I hope that this thread will be of more help to you, but in future do a search for your old posts, or for a topic, and post in the original thread.

ntlbell helpful comments only please

Do you find it hard to stay concentretd on one thing at a time i do . When i first found out i had ADHD , I couldnt belive it .

Irishpimpdude

Yea, i had an apointment with a physiatrist to find out what was wrong with me.. and i never went

Yeah same here . I find it hadr to stay at one thing for along also I can get very fidgity.

Irishpimpdude

I was just doing it without noticing there until you said it i was rocking my foot! haha

that's hardly ADHD.

Irishpimpdude

I know lol but its funny that i do stuff like that alot without noticing...

feylya

So does everyone. It's when you need to get up and move around then sit down and move things and constantly readjust things is when you should be wondering about adhd.

Irishpimpdude

I do that lol, for no aparent reason i will walk downstairs then walk back up... haha move things around but im not worried about it anymore because i dont get in as much trouble as i used to...

Lok up up ADHD There some of the things to do with ADHD

feylya

I think his point was that rocking your foot doesn't mean you have adhd.

Irishpimpdude

Yes that was his point exactly, and to be honest im not 100% sure that i have it , i used to get counselling and she recommend i see a GP about it and then he refered me to shrink... but i was just using that as an example because she said she sometimes gets very fidgety.

It's great to hear that about your school. I know of plenty of others though where this isn't the case.

Unfortunately there's also still terrible assistance in quite a lot of secondary schools and colleges, which is a disgrace considering the generation going through secondary school/early college now is the first to really have been diagnosed properly and have the disorder taken seriously. So with it being so prevalent as a learning disability, you would hope that more would be being done to help those who are really in need right now.

Iam in my last year of school and i didnt get much help still recently . It is not easy when you find it hard to stick to one thing at a time .

I totally agree with you bounty hunter

Iam glad to hear that there is help being provided for them but in a lot of secondary schol ther isnt much help available to people with ADHD which i think is wrong .

Aye, I think it's safe to say your students are probably quite lucky Well, not lucky really cos they're only getting what they deserve, but lucky compared to some other students who still aren't.

Yes that is very true because before i found ou that i had ADHD I used to be vry un relaxed and i couldnt stick to one things as such i would start one thing and then go on to something else but know i am much more relaxed in what i am doing .

Does anyone know what percentage of ADHD is incorrectly diagnosed? Is it a case of someone misbehaving or having learning difficulties and being "diagnosed" as having ADHD?

bounty_hunter

It often is, but without regular reviews of the individual case such a mistake more often than not goes unnoticed. However, in a case where this has happened, the "ADHD" will usually wear off by adolescence (assuming it isn't another longer-lasting learning disability that has been mistaken for ADHD), by which time it will be apparent that the diagnosed person is no longer suffering from the disorder.

In the case of somebody who has already reached adolescence, it is not uncommon for other learning disabilities coupled with a general inability to fit in in a school environment to be mistaken for ADHD.

Note: It's not often that somebody who has only just begun to develop symtoms (for example, a teenager who is merely misbehaving/craving attention) will be diagnosed as having ADHD, as this particular disorder is usually present from very early childhood, and so symptoms will have been evident for years beforehand. So to answer a part of your question, it is not very likely that a misbehaving teenager, for example, will be able to be incorrectly diagnosed, at least not by a professional who specialises in ADHD.

I t can be differnt things as such .

1 Concentration
2 Fidgness
3 Not listening to what has been said
4 Compulsive behaviour
5 Talking out of tern all the time

And loads more thats all i can think of right know . Best thing is to go a doctor and they will tell yor are else look up www ADHD.com and seewhat you get.

Eminem

You can look up that site and , You might find what your looking for best of luck .

Eminem

Also i think people with ADHD in secondary schools shuol get more help beacuse they need it . I find it very hard at times to concenreate at times. Also i can be very fidget and not listen to what is said at times.

LundiMardi

maybe you should say it to someone in the school rather than strangers on the internet?
