My son is dyslexic( diagnosed by an Ed Pysc) but she DIDNT spot that he had ADD. Thankfully 3 years later we were referred to a consultant paed who diagnosed him. It was the best thing that could have happened to him - having a label has helped us to understand him- and his progress at school has been fantastic this year.

Just be aware that Ed Pysc are not the correct people to diagnose ADHD! You need to see a consultant.
