Is it easy or difficult for parents to diagnose probable ADHD, and why?
  1. It is easy because the symptoms are so obvious and pronounced.
  2. It is easy to diagnose the hyperactivity component, but not the inattentive component, since the latter might be simply mistaken for quiet, obedient behavior.
  3. It is easy to diagnose the inattentive component, but not the hyperactive component, because the hyperactivity is mistaken for lack of obedience on the child’s part.
  4. Both the attention-deficit and hyperactivity associated with ADHD are often mistaken for other behavior problems.
Explanation
Answer: D - Both the attention deficit and the hyperactivity in ADHD are often mistaken for other problems. The frequent failure of both parents and teachers to correctly identify the condition in a timely manner not only delays correct diagnosis but effective treatment.
