EPISODE #105: Is It Just ADHD or Something Else? The Childhood Collective 3/20/2023 SUMMARY Up to 80% of children with ADHD have at least one other diagnosis. Parents are often left wondering, “Is there more going on, or is it ‘just’ ADHD?” If you have asked this question, you are not alone! Today we are diving into the most common diagnoses that often go along with ADHD: specific learning disorders, speech and language disorders, anxiety, depression, and autism. Join us as we talk about key signs to look for when deciding if your child needs more support!   MEET OUR TEAM We are Lori, Mallory, and Katie. Lori and Mallory are child psychologists, and Katie is a speech language pathologist. Most importantly, we are moms, just like you! We created this podcast and community to help you find joy and confidence in raising your child with ADHD! AFFILIATE INFORMATION Every parent knows that sleep is a BIG DEAL!
