ADULTS WITH ADHD
Poor Judgment and Decision-Making at Work
"I recently started a new position that doesn't have a clearly defined job description. This is problematic because it's like I'm missing the part of my brain that can make decisions! My supervisor is kind, but losing her patience...." HOW TO EXPLAIN?
So Embarrassed By My Behavior...
"I lost my keys today, so now my car's stuck at work. This comes after losing my phone yesterday. I don’t know how to pretend I’m an adult and everything’s fine when I do things like this all the time." FED UP WITH MYSELF
Seeing ADHD Around Me
"I was diagnosed with inattentive ADHD this year. Now that I know about ADHD, I see similarities in others — in particular, a colleague who is never still, interrupts all the time, and is frankly difficult to work with." ANYONE ELSE?
Tired of Being Married to ADHD
"I love my husband, and I know he loves me and our child, but he is often emotionally absent. He spends impulsively on himself (but forgets birthdays and anniversaries), and won't adhere to treatment. I have been the sole breadwinner for more than a year and I am overwhelmed." FEELING LOST
PARENTING CHILDREN WITH ADHD
My Daughter HATES to Read
"This is a big battle for us at school and at home. Any tools, tricks, or ideas I can try to encourage her to read and to help make reading more enjoyable for her?" HELP
Is ADHD Causing This Behavior?
"I recently married a man who has two teens with ADHD. How can I distinguish between symptoms and, well, bad parenting? I'm wondering about things like constant screen time, lack of motivation at school, not wearing seatbelts, etc." WHAT TO DO?
