ADHD and ADD are often confused with laziness. They are very different things, but may appear similar. I have ADD, and it is not just difficult, but impossible to keep my mind on something that doesn't interest me when I'm not on my medecine. However, when I take my medicine, I become a workaholic.

If you have had your child tested for ADD twice at school should you take them to a doctor if it is suggested that they be retested?
Many doctors don't have current knowledge about ADD. If I were concerned about my child, I would take him to a doctor who is known in the field of ADD or to a clinic that is known in the field. Ask your local chapter of CHADD (Children & Adults with Attention Deficit Disorder) for suggestions in your region. oh man oh man. You said it yourself its the school that tested your child. Their job is to educate your kid not play doctor. Take your kid to a doctor no matter what, that's what they went to school for.
