That is pretty sad that the parent is excited about the diagnosis. It sounds more like they are looking for an excuse card than an actual solution to their problems. Even though I am older I was one of the few kids who grew up with a computer in our house. It may have not been connected to the Internet or as interactive as what they have today, but it was always there. Despite that, we still spent a lot of time in books, working on worksheets. My parents were pretty good about reading to us and helping us learn though. I get not everyone has that. How did the audition go by the way?
Observing the girl at least, I don't think she has ADHD - she seems like a normal kid (normal in my world).
Sure, but it seems many don't have it now, because the parents have better things to do than raise their own kids.
The audition went well, however, I don't think she will get in.
Oh man, that's a bummer. I am sorry. Will she have an opportunity to try again or will you lead her on a different path forward? I get sometimes when you know something is different, but you are not sure what a diagnosis can seem like a blessing. Sometimes though, it's just like you said and I said. They just want an excuse.
