EPISODE #105: Is It Just ADHD or Something Else?

3/20/2023

SUMMARY

Up to 80% of children with ADHD have at least one other diagnosis. Parents are often left wondering, “Is there more going on, or is it ‘just’ ADHD?” If you have asked this question, you are not alone! Today we are diving into the most common diagnoses that often go along with ADHD: specific learning disorders, speech and language disorders, anxiety, depression, and autism. Join us as we talk about key signs to look for when deciding if your child needs more support!
