Need More Knowledge On ADHD

Hi! I have a 3 year old daughter who is showing signs of ADHD such as she repeats people, has prolonged fits over 30 mins, can t sit still eating, watching tv etc. Doesn t follow directions and is always super hyper. She hates candy so i know its not that. She does have a doctors appointment set up. I was not concerned because I assumed it was her only being 3 but then her teacher at her private home day care noticed and pulled me aside to talk.

Hi, Thanks for asking. In my opinion your child might have a possibility of having autism. Echolalia(repeating people), not following directions(poor receptive language skills) Hyperactivity are few features of autism.
I would suggest you to go through the appointment and ask your doctor specifically regarding Autism.
I hope I have helped you.
Thank You.
