[DKIM]

We were told by a pediatric specialist in ADHD that the only true test to know if your child has ADHD is to put them on meds. If the behavior and impulse control issues improve then they have ADHD if they do not or they become worse, then they do NOT have ADHD. This doesn't sound appropriate to us, but thought I'd a get a second opinion.

I was also told that ADHD runs more in adopted children, and the reasoning is that ADHD is said to be a genetic condition and most bparents are very impulsive and pass those traits to their bio. children.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
