3 Year Old ADHD?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

3 year old can be diagnosed with ADHD? or its too early? can this be cured by medicine at 3 year age ? Please advice. We asked doctor when my daughter was 2 and half and they said its too early. She is 3 now and diagnosed with autism at mild to medium level. I feel if she can concentrate on things, she can learn things much faster. Any suggestion or opinion are welcome.

Thanks

My twin girls were diagnosed with Autism before their 3rd birthday. I took one to a 1.5 year checkup and they said she had signs of Autism. I then took her twin and they said the same. I then got both tested and they were diagnosed just before 3 years old.

They are fairly high functioning. They stimm a little and had some speech delays, but they say sentences and everything now. They are on the mild level.

I got them in a PRE-PUFF program here in Canada. They started school 1 month before they turned 3.
