They usually wait until after 5 to diagnose ADHD is usually uncommon in girls, but can happen, I'd go see a doctor now anyway because they might be able to help in some way even if its a health plan to get a psychologist in at an early. Age to help with what's causing this behaviour be it ADHD or something else , hope this helps
