I honestly think that my son does stand out with some of his behaviors, given his ASD & ADHD diagnosis and since he is in 4th grade other kids are starting to notice. I’m unclear how to approach this…
Are there any school modifications for my 8yo with ADHD?
I am having very difficult mornings with my child. How do I make this better for us?
I feel like I am losing my cool with my child during the morning routine in particular . In the past, I’ve mentioned my child’s difficulty following instructions, transitioning, inattentiveness etc...
Our morning routines have been the same with small tweaks for years. I have been very regimented and routine oriented. This school year, kindergarten, in particular, is a major issue with getting ready. We try and problem solve together and we come up with good plans, but they are short lived. I know she probably can’t help it, and I want to support her and not be mad! How do i do this?
Do I share my child's diagnosis with them or is it better to not tell them?
As my son goes through several tests (ADHD, Ados, and who knows what’s next) he’s asking why? As of now, the only thing I’ve said to him is “we’re doing this to see if we can help you feel more comfortable and see if maybe you can get that help in therapy…” Is that the direction I should take?
If he is diagnosed with XYZ, should I not mention it to him?
My son has been diagnosed with ADHD. Do I tell him and how?
After a long summer we finally got an evaluation from FIU that confirms that my son has ADHD and ODD. To be honest, even though I had a strong feeling he was going to be diagnosed with this, it's still a lot to swallow. So many thoughts come rushing into my head like:
- Will he be able to handle it and live a happy life?
- Is it my fault?
- Is there something I could have done differently?
- Will he be successful?
My 6yo does not tolerate loud noises or singing. What is going on?
My daughter has been diagnosed with ADHD. Now what?
We saw a neurologist today and according to the Qbtest they administer to determine ADHD, my daughter was diagnosed with it. They don't feel that it's severe enough to warrant medication but they are going to work with the school to get her a 504.
Is there anything else that I can do on my end to help support her?
I spoke to a friend who used an advocate to guide her through the process (her son also had dyslexia) but is my daughter’s therapist still the right fit for her or does she need something different in your opinion?
My 6yo is being disrespectful. How can I help him communicate better?
My 6yo son is showing signs of anxiety in addition to having ADHD. Help!
My 6 year old son seems to have some anxiety lately. We were at a party and I gave my children a 5 minute warning that we were leaving. Afterwards, they begged for 5 more minutes, and I told them fine, but not to ask again because we would in fact leave after the next 5 minutes. After the next 5 minutes, I found his cousin and brother playing and told them it was time to leave. I couldn’t find my son though. Then, I did. He was curled up in a ball in the living room crying saying that he couldn’t find anything to do in the 5 minutes.
