Kylie is a bright and bubbly 10 year old whose mother stated “She will not sit still and be quiet! She just goes and goes nonstop.’’ Her mother reported feeling overwhelmed and concerned about her daughter. Importantly, Kylie herself had begun to realize that something wasÂ
‘‘wrong.’’ This previously optimistic child began to remark that she was stupid and dumb and was being ridiculed by peers at school. Historically, Kylie was a highly energetic toddler who talked excessively. Kylie’s mother noted that she constantly fidgeted, kicked her legs, or touched objects. Cognitively, she had extreme difficulty staying focused and on-task, and needed frequent redirection or a quiet, nonstimulating environment to complete work. She had a tendency to be impulsive, rushing through her school assignments, which resulted in careless mistakes. She had organizational problems in her day-to day-activities (e.g., frequently losing objects or articles of clothing).
Academically, she had always been an average to above average student, but starting in the second grade she began to demonstrate some struggles in mathematics, spelling, and handwriting.Â
Medically, Kylie was in perfect health, and both language and motor develop-mental milestones were reached within normal limits. She had no significant problems with vision, hearing, eating, or sleeping. She was prescribed no medication at the time of the evaluation.Â
Socially, Kylie was described as an outgoing and engaging child. The home environment was described as positive and loving. Kylie’s parents requested a neuropsychological evaluation to identify her pattern of cognitive strengths and weaknesses. However, their prime concern was her increasing restlessness and difficulties with attention. They were also concerned with the emotional toll of social ridicule because of her high energy behavior. Her parents questioned if she met formal criteria for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and wished for professional corroboration of their suspicion.
