Regarding ADHD

2023-11-23 06:43:31
My son is 3.5 years old. Since we are a nuclear family his speaking ability is a bit backward compared to others. Recently one pediatric doctor said he is having ADHD. but till date i never noticed any symptoms related to ADHD. He is doing well when asked to do something. He counts 1 to 30 and knows colours he sits quiet and watch tv travels with us fine. Whenever he visits the doctor he resists to do things and wants to escape from the place. My cause of concern is whether ADHD can be diagnosed with seeing a boy for 15 mins.
