There is and has been an *enormous* difference between their behaviors, even as young as 2 to 3 years old, and I *wish* in hindsight that I'd listened to my inner fears and gotten the ADHD one evaluated, and begun behavior modification and psychological treatment (not medication!), earlier, instead of waiting until it was already a big problem at school and home three years later. If it hadn't been my first child, I think chances are very good we would have been more aware of how different he was and gotten him evaluated much earlier.
>We have no indication that >he's failed to reach any milestones.
Failure to reach milestones is not indicative of ADHD; a lot of ADHD kids can speak, read, etc. on or ahead of target. But you're right that we don't have and can't really get from her any clear idea of the kid's behavior in general, and that is why, if she is *legitimately* concerned (and as a non-GD regular not up on this season of the godleeluv show, I can see just from her behavior in this post why you might be questioning her assessment), the best course of action would start with a comprehensive evaluation. At least that way the doctors can determine he's a normal, healthy kid, or they can start early intervention if needs be.
