No, you don't qualify for handicapped license plates.

The parents get disability money for them so yes, although I think it's nothing a slapped back side wouldn't have cured No! It's just a way for parents to explain that they have a naughty child and they have fed it far too many e-numbers and sugar. Guessing you're after money...and also guessing you're a 'single mom'.

No, not at all. Actually a child with ADHD could have a higher IQ than you! ADHD means in short that the child that has it has attention-concentration-obedie. problems, not intelligence or ability ones.

No am ADD my class are with like 10 kids we are doin the same class as the other kid but the teacher help more since its less kids in the room and its easier beacuse it not as much work

unfortunately not.. you can find your answer with a simple web search. but in my opinion a positive mental attitude will help you in almost all aspects of life xxx xxx ADHD is a learning disability, a child does not qualify for services unless there is a discrepancy between achievement and ability. Some parents collect Social Security with the proper documentation.

My son has ADHD and I have never heard of getting disability money because of that! Many children are helped tremendously with medications and other children are helped with behavior modification and counseling. A lot of times schools will put the child in a SPED class because they can't be mainnstreamed into the regular classroom. My son was and I was told by his teacher that he was the type of kid that would never become the President of the United States! My son is now in college working on his Bachelors degree with a 3.8 GPA. I do know the schools get so much money for Sped students.

First of all, what country location are we talking about here?

I'm a disabled access auditor in the UK, and strictly speaking, no this is classed as a disability. Please bear in mind that in the UK, you cannot be registered disabled anymore (i.e. no more green cards).

But if you wanted the disabled status with the view of getting disabled benefits or a parking badge, then I'm afraid you're out of luck on both counts.

If you're in the US, sorry I can't comment not being up with their laws and regulations.

Hope this is of help.
