i plan on scheduling an appointment with our pediatrician to rule out any medical problems that could be mimicing adhd. what specifically should i not forget to have done? i know that i've read up on tonsils and adenoids and my daughters are HUGE...and my son has his out due to sleep apnea. what else should i keep in mind at the appointment to bring up?

there are 50 conditions that mimic ADHD. However, the tests that our doc did was a thyroid test and a sleep deprived EEG. I am sure your doc might have some others to consider.
If you do a google with the words " 50 conditions that mimic ADHD" you will get several sites.....that are basically the same
thank you for the suggestion!!!! it was very helpful:)
