Girls with ADHD present much differently to boys with ADHD.
The hyperactivity tends not to be there, it's more just not being able to concentrate, going off into their own little worlds, zoning out before people have finished speaking, becoming overwhelmed easily and as a result just giving up (eg "Fuck off, Ryan!"), etc, so I'd be inclined to believe that she does have it.

Do you know Skye?
 
Also, everyone keeps asking if she has it, but she confirmed in one of the first episodes that she does.
She said she has learning difficulties and then followed it up specifically with saying she ADHD.
I can't remember what episode, but everyone was there, it was a group discussion in the blue lounge room.

Skye has talked about her learning difficulties and she does present as someone who takes time to process information and understand what is being asked. Hence, she repeats an instruction with her own understanding of it to check ...This is a typical coping mechanism for some people who have auditory processing disorder. ADHD.... Prob not Skye....more Travie!!

Skye said NOTHING in her nomination about Ryan to warrant his reaction. Maybe Rysa has left his run too late, considering he sat back judging the others with his lovely little fence-sitting nature, until now!! Only now are we hearing any friggen thing about him but we are suppose to suddenly find him endearing because he had gnarly depression?? I've never heard such an immature reference to such a serious issue.

ADHD and auditory processing disorder are two different diagnoses.

Having learning difficulties =/= unintelligent. I think Skye uses all available tools to get her through life as comfortably as possible, including painting her persona with the idea that having learning difficulties means she is a little thick. It makes for very easy sympathy.

Finally we are seeing more of Teflon (Ryan). The more I see of him, the more I want to see him out with Sonia on the couch. This edit tonight will help, but he seems to be an argumentative bastard, why havent we been shown this before? He goes on about having 3 sisters and protecting them, but he is virtually bullying Skye, for the nominations that were shown, in exchange for the $5000.00. Dont worry Skye, you'll still have the money when he is evicted next week. I dont know if they have been told its a double eviction. I'm having to skip some pages, because you are all too prolific.

Ryan has a conversation that Skye is fake and playing the game.

So this is paraphrasing as I didn't take a transcript.

In the house he says something like people are fake and bubbly and so he gravitates towards Sandy because she gets down.

Skye says, 'but people who are up and bubbly also get down.'

Ryan has a go at her because he apparently never suggested this and she's just an idiot confused. Even thought he just said he gravitates towards Sandy because she gets down as opposed to the bubbly people. So Skye was not off track and whether or not it's what Ryan meant, she was not out of line for saying it.

I was really disappointed at everyone one for just letting that go on. I have noticed a few times, people won't go against the group even when they are wrong. They leave others to hanging out to dry. Except for Aisha and Trav, they have each others backs. Then look at the shit they get. Well they have each others back, then the little shit head crew all back each other. No one else backs anyone else. They will just side with the majority in the moment.

In my view Skye was right on with her observations. Ryan was attacking her. I think it's also fairly safe to assume he was having a go at her, in light of his previous conversation. Fake and so forth. He was upset he is up, the nominations thing with her irked him. His whole attitude after being up, he seemed to be very deliberate with his words, it didn't seem natural. He's a mean person and yeah he takes pleasure in thinking he's better than others.

Which was kind of central to it. It seems team shit head has decided Skye is this weeks target. Look at Sandra, she is throwing tantrums but gets a pass. Of course what was her reaction to being up, attacking skye. Having a go at skye, insulting skye in the diary room.

They are all immature and for whatever Skye's immaturity is, at least she isn't a fucking hypocrite. Ryan was attacking her, was condescending her, was talking down to her. He's an arrogant shit head.

Even others, like David saying he made comments to 'rile her up.' Fuck off with that bullshit, it's not a good thing to deliberately try and upset people. That is what arseholes do and get pleasure in.

How can someone like Ryan have a massive tantrum that Skye is disrespectful when he never listened to what she said. What she said was actually on point with what he just said. I rewound to make sure. He's then off calling her a bimbo? Where is his respect? He has talked a bunch of times about 'treating a lady, how a lady should act.' Well he does not act or talk to her as if she is a lady. With the respect anyone should deserve.

When Ryan's having a go at Skye and she says, 'well just don't talk to me then.' Of course the arsehole attitude is to then jump at her about that. Yet minutes later when they are talking about it and yes had some enjoyment in the aftermath of her being upset. Taking pleasure in it. Sandra said something like she's done with Skye, not going to bother with her. No jumping on Sandra for that. More hypocrisy.

There's a whole of disorders that are described there though, not just ADHD. Doesn't sound that far removed from me, and I have PTSD and dyslexia.
I take anyone who says that they have diagnosed ADHD at face value though, because they're the one who knows their history well enough to say so.
 
Leo for the win.

as for what Skye has/doesn't have/has been diagnosed with/may be diagnosed with... let's just not go there... m'kay?

Yes, I'm very aware they are two different diagnoses... Which is why there is a FULL STOP (haha!!) between them.

N O .... FULL STOP!!

The word 'or' would have been clearer.
And guessing what people may have or do have is a real pet peeve of mine. I think I pretty much had a stroke the year everyone was rabbiting on about Aspergers.

He sent in a pack of cards and some balloons for Lawson to work his magic. I think people are forgetting this bloke is pretty good at magic, if he is an amateur. Has anyone looked him up, whats his proper name?

I didn't mean 'or'. They were 2 separate sentences.

The point of the discussion was whether or not Skye had actually said she had ADHD, which has now been established. No harm done discussing the possibility of different learning disorders in a respectful way... Not sure what the problem is with it TBH. I don't feel like I need permission to mention it either!!
