These symptoms will typically show up early, often from the ages of three to six, and since they can vary from child to child, the diagnosis can be difficult.
Parents may notice children losing interest sooner than others or seem out of control. Many times teachers will notice signs and symptoms first, particularly when a child spaces out frequently or refuses to follow the rules.
