Possible ADD ??

Possible ADD??
by: Anonymous

My 6 year old daughter is constantly having defiant behavior at school. Academically, she is at the top of her class. She can read chapter books and can even do a little multiplication. She is not your textbook ADD child. She is not hyper, although she is impulsive. She is social and understands right from wrong. She is very easy to anger and has frequent outbursts at school. She is always exhausted in the afternoon, and that is when the problems usually occur. Last year, she had several transitions(switching schools)so we wanted to give her a chance to adapt. Here we are again..new year with the same issues. I don't know if I have a stubborn and strong-willed child or is this ADD? Also, I should mention that she has intense focus. The reason the social worker suggested ADD was because she can't pull her focus. Does anyone have a child like mine because, so far, I have not found her traits in any textbook. Appreciate any help.

Have you researched, I think it was called, Oppositional/Defiant disorder? It seems like it might fit the scenario. Hope this helps.
