Alisa, I know without a doubt the reason no one every tested me for anything as a child was because I did well in school and score very well on standardized tests. They often don't think that kids that do well in school could have anything going on. Its not true. I know now that I have dyslexia and most likely ADHD, but its wasn't even discovered until I was an adult and people talked to me about it. All the symptoms fit perfectly. Keep talking and insisting if this is how you feel.
