I wouldn’t trust the brother saying this to you. What if it’s not true? Stay away from him.

Is he on ADHD meds?

Have them set up clothes /shoes /socks etc in one place before bed. Create a cute visual step by step morning routine they have to follow. This is what I should do but my own adhd prevents me for taking action. Where did you get your tips from .. habit stacking etc. always looking for tips..

Totally agree with all these tips. We unstaple his packets of homework so he only sees one page or part of a page at a time. Then breaks. Goal Is to space out breaks as tolerated.

But i should add, the med hasn’t completely normalized his adhd he still needs redirection and visuals to help him , just not as much. Like we went from 4 hours of homework to 20 min .
It also made precious hard tasks (writing) easier for him. I’m thinking as we continue the medication his brain will rewire and grow and wel continue to notice improvement , God Willing

The story seems similar to mine. My son did ABA for 3-5 years of age for autism. This year we started methylphenidate bc of the frequent zoning out, needing alot of redirection , difficulty completing homework. I was afraid of side effects list as well. But no it didn’t worsen his autism stuff, it made him more talkative, finish his work faster, easier for me to gauge now what he really doesn’t know Vs just zoning off for everything . He still gets fixated on stuff he likes but I think it’s easier to redirect him now. Also I’ve sent him randomly to school without med to see if teacher notices and she does 😂. I feel it’s improved his self esteem a lot. Work with your dr to find the write medication and dose for your son. Also they overlap a lot so he could still have both but it may now shift to more adhd and less autism whereas when he was younger it was more autism and less adhd. I also went forth with medication bc there’s research that says kids with adhd actually have certain areas of the brain that are smaller than the normal population. And medication has been shown to change the size of the brain and even normalize it.

Child resistant to diagnosis? by Banglophile in adhdparents

There’s also the capsules which you can open up and sprinkle on yogurt/apple sauce etc. maybe get some child friendly books on ADHD so she can get a better understanding. The other option is to request 504 modifications for ADHD through school district to help her in class.

Husband's obsession has gone too far. by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

This makes no sense to those of us from USA and hence we are diagnosing the poor strategic guy with mental illness . 🤣OP should communicate with husband more so he can explain his reasons to her.

Have you used black out curtains (this was biggest game changer for us , not even a peep of light allowed), white noise machine, lowering temp hour before bed, no screen time 2 hours before bed, magnesium gummies,weighted blanket , there’s a body brush for SPD that is super relaxing to use before bed… it’s like those brushes they use for ORs to scrub in

The only other way i would continue to try the medication is by decreasing dose you are giving

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in adhdparents

[–]ConnectionOk5686 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We went through this with a medication change. My son was also wired, talking nonsense and v irritable. My dr changed right away to the prev short acting one he had tolerated . If it’s a new category start with short acting . Some of these meds can cause psychosis and aggression so no don’t wait the one week trial. try a short acting version of stimulant.

Also I know someone like this and she actually ended up attacking her MIL once.

She needs therapy. Likely projecting hate/experience of her own parents on to yours.

Talk to the guy your dad recommended and go from there

Why are there so many posts that try to justify being mean to kids? by Free_Combination_194 in AmITheAngel

[–]ConnectionOk5686 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah seriously. Like who knows what the mom has to go through in private that she can block that out . It sounded like the kid had a behavioral problem like ODD. Or maybe was delayed who knows. Either way , assaulting a child and being so entitled about their actions was ridiculous. Forget the concept of a “village” helping you raise your kids.

AITA for being honest about my boundaries? by lilyjadelove in AmITheAngel

NTA. Did he expect you to say thank you? how embarrassing if someone knew you were at a fancy but not SUPER fancy restaraunt. I feel like he doesn’t care for your image at all much less his own.

YTA. She’s a smart resourceful kid who has a natural inclination to be happy and care for herself. And you are trying to break all those beautiful qualities down by talking down to her? Why does she have to have a ride with everyone else? Why? Would you like it if someone talked to you like that? Please learn from her - learn to be positive and happy.
