It basically says that many children diagnosed with ADHD are actually not ADHD but rather just young in their class.
But there is more to consider here!

Second, consider this... Parents live with the fear and guilt of doing the right thing for their kids. They seek out "experts" for help and often have grave doubts about putting their child on medication.They may even be looked down on if they don't use medication.
And for many, the answer is something else!In this case,it's just to let them grow up.
Here is what our experience tells us:
There are many other conditions that are being mis-diagnosed as ADHD that aren't. For years we have had students come to us because someone has said they are ADHD when we find that these kids often have one or more of these issues:
Dyslexia
Auditory Processing Difficulties
Visual Processing Difficulties
Poor Memory
Inefficient Internal Organizational Skills
Retained Primitive Reflexes
Slow or Inefficient Processing Skills
And Yes, Young in their Class
The good news is that ALL these conditions can be fixed!
