Can preschoolers have or be diagnosed with ADHD. Yes. Children as young as age 4 can be diagnosed with ADHD. According to the 2010-2011 National Survey of Children's Health, approximately 194,000 preschoolers (2-5 years of age) had a current ADHD diagnosis. Some children outgrow the symptoms, but others may not.
Doctors diagnose ADHD in children after a child has shown six or more specific symptoms of inattention or hyperactivity on a regular basis for more than 6 months in at least two settings. The doctor will consider how a child's behavior compares with that of other children the same age.
