Thirded - Pico! I have seen the statistics of kids identified or diagnosed as ADD or ADHD . . . virtually double in our high School. In the middle school its much worse. A decade ago it was probably about 1/3 of what it is now.
This is a lot like lupus - there is not magic bullet test that says "YES." It comes down to an interpretation of symptoms and the elimination of other causal factors.
