Hi :)

Are you familiar with the theori of "soft neurologic signs" in ADHD? This is new to me.
I have found some information saying:
"The medical evaluation should include a neurologic examination. There are suggestions that patients with ADHD exhibit a greater incidence of "soft neurologic signs," including problems with right-left discrimination, motor overflow movements and sequencing difficulties."
(source: http://www.aafp.org/afp/20001101/2077.html)

And a list of other "ADHD soft signs" on this site:

Have you heard of this? Do you have some of these signs? And did you undergo neurologic examination?

Thanks :)
