AD/HD diagnosis with reading test | ADHD Information

Share

Good morning folks.

When I saw an AD/HD 'expert' for diagnosis, one of the tests was to read a page of words.  Not a book, sentences or anything, just a list of words to read aloud (words of increasing difficulty).  Is this a normal test?  I had no problems at all with this, and the shrink thought that indicated against AD/HD.

I've never read about this before.

(He also didn't like it because I didn't pee the bed much after 'toddlerdom'.)

Thanks,

This is NOT  the preferred form of diagnosing ADHD

That's what I thought.  He asked the usual questions too, of course, and my answers were fairly typical of AD/HD inattentive type - but he did seem to think my ability to recognise words went against the diagnosis.
