A member asked:

Can my 5 year old stepdaughter be autistic, add or adhd?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Confusing question: Certainly these diagnoses have been applied to kids of that age. You provide no background information on which to base an opinion about a specific issue. If you have a specific question, start over and provide enough background information to support your question.The site is not a chat room and questions are not linked.
