Hi @sarahmullins02 welcome to the community.
What sort of behaviour does she display that makes you think it is ADHD? Do you see a specialist for her?0 -
Hi my daughter is like a forever ready battery going a 100 miles a hour all the time and cant sit still and or do normal things like her behaviour at times is really bad and she is always wanting to go staight on to something eles without finishing the first thing she started0

Could those symptoms be down to the developmental delay? Is she under a specialist for her needs? Does your daughter go to nursery?
There's info here about ADHD, it says;If your GP thinks your child may have ADHD, they may first suggest a period of "watchful waiting" lasting around 10 weeks – to see if your child's symptoms improve, stay the same or get worse.0 -
Hi sam ive been watching her for about 2 years now and she has got worse and i have appointments with gp again nexted week0

I hope you get somewhere with your GP. I hope there will be other members along soon with some experience of little ones with ADHD1
