When using either checklists, if your child has ten or more of the above symptoms, your child's ADHD problems could be caused (at least in part) by allergies. We strongly recommend you obtain more information. The best place to start is reading the book: Is This Your Child?: Discovering and Treating Unrecognized Allergies in Children and Adults by Doris J. Rapp, M.D., ISBN:0688119077. We do not recommend that you contact an allergist before reading this book. Many allergists do not believe that allergies can cause ADHD symptoms or learning problems. Allergists that specialize in the provocation/neutralization method of allergy assessment and treatment do believe that allergies can cause these symptoms. All this is explained in Dr. Rapp's book.
