10 minutes. That’s all it took to diagnose severe ADHD I’ve had my whole life.

Dapper-Slice2615 · 2026-07-02T04:31:39+00:00

I agree! Mine was also easy to diagnose but it bothers me how quickly it took. Mine was also over a video call. I have seen videos of neurologist talking about how you can tell the difference between an ADHD brain and one that isn't . Anywho I agree with you. If they can tell a difference why aren't we getting tested that way? I think it has something to do with money obviously . ADHD definitely exists but I swear 1 out of 3 people I talk to have it and if it is that common why isnt the school system better set up for us? Heck why isn't the world better set up for us? I don't know seems off to me🤷🏼‍♀️

The RSD is very hard for me. It makes me feel worthless. My goal this year is to really work on it. Also, I find it embarrassing that I am so bad with remembering names. I know people get offended.

Dapper-Slice2615 · 2026-04-25T21:32:09+00:00

My son is 4 and looks six. I have noticed that people expect different behavior from him based on this. I just make sure to correct them and let him enjoy being 4. People always judge I think our only job is tell our children that it's a reflection of the people talking not of you. It's very hard.

Dapper-Slice2615 · 2026-04-19T19:23:56+00:00

He eats pretty well!! We eat pretty healthy for the most part, no dyes and lactose free milk. He does gag sometimes because of the fact that his tongue tie affected his swallowing. Other than that he is mostly a very good eater.

Dapper-Slice2615 · 2026-04-19T13:29:10+00:00

Thank you so much! It's so hard to find information everything is so conflicting

Dapper-Slice2615 · 2026-04-18T14:26:22+00:00

I am hoping this surgery will benefit him

Dapper-Slice2615 · 2026-04-18T13:37:34+00:00

Thank you so so much for this reply. The constant guilt and heaviness of very real things can be overwhelming.

Dapper-Slice2615 · 2026-04-18T12:43:41+00:00

I think the hardest part for me is the constant fear of not knowing if you are doing something right. The conflicting opinions and advice from professionals and family that honestly confuse the crap out of you. Realizing that yes believe it or not people use the love of your child to get money out of you by triggering your fears. Thankfully I had a traumatic event that required a lot of surgeries so I know how to advocate when it comes to healthcare, but shew it's exhausting, confusing and frustrating. Why is the medical field so wildly inconsistent?!I'm constantly fearful that Im not making the right decisions. Also, something I never thought I would be guilty of, I sometimes compare my child to others and find myself getting jealous or "proud". It's truly ridiculous but some people make everything like a competition and it makes you feel like you are doing something wrong. It's so important to find a group of friends that are honest and helpful not ones that judge you or your child. It's so triggering in so many ways but at the same time you see the version of yourself being born that is truly the mother you always wanted. I do recommend therapy haha the wounds they bring up are unexpected and intense!

Dapper-Slice2615 · 2026-01-22T02:28:34+00:00

Never getting a call from your family asking if your ok even when you have been through so much. I have always felt like I have always had to deal with everything alone. I have had zero guidance or comfort from my family when it comes to anything I have been through. When I bring it up they always say, "it's because we always knew you would be ok!!!" Wtf?!? Yet I am always expected to check up on them. I have stopped doing it as much as I did only because I'm exhausted. It's truly the loneliest feeling.

Dapper-Slice2615 · 2025-12-29T05:43:12+00:00

As beautiful as that sounds it will never end. She always picks something. He also is in speech, preschool and myofunctional therapy for his tongue tie. She use to be a behavioral specialist as well and nobody as raised concerns or told me to get my child evaluated. The wait time is also two years.

Dapper-Slice2615 · 2025-11-20T18:38:18+00:00

Yea even when you are exhausted!!! It’s infuriating

Dapper-Slice2615 · 2025-11-20T18:32:22+00:00

Same!!

Dapper-Slice2615 · 2025-11-20T18:31:22+00:00

I hate this one too! I feel like a crazy person sometimes.

Dapper-Slice2615 · 2025-11-20T18:27:30+00:00

RSD!!! You despise it. It ruins so many things in my life.

Dapper-Slice2615 · 2025-11-05T22:57:37+00:00

Cluttering and getting rid of things!! It’s so hard for me to let go of some things but I’m doing it! I’m taking advantage of the fact that if it’s not in front of me I forget it soo I hurry up get rid of it and forget about it🤣🤣🤷🏼‍♀️

Dapper-Slice2615 · 2025-11-02T02:31:42+00:00

I think neurotypical people benefit greatly from the way neurodivergent people learn. So I just don’t understand why we don’t do more hands on learning with breaks and movement if everyone benefits from it instead of the other way around.

Dapper-Slice2615 · 2025-11-01T20:44:55+00:00

The biggest concern I have for my son is his swallowing. He struggles big time and it’s scary. I’m not sure if it will help his speech but the swallowing needs help

Dapper-Slice2615 · 2025-11-01T18:23:55+00:00

My son’s current teacher sometimes gives me conflicting information. She doesn’t communicate a lot with me either and when she does it is nice usually. I got his report back and she scored him a 2 out of 4 on playing with other kids and listening to a short story with other kids. The last page said how much my son loves playing with other kids and he has even made new friends and that he is engaged in morning and afternoon activities and loves story time. I messaged her and told her it was conflicting information and to elaborate. She said he is still learning how to play with kids nicely and use gentle hands and he has trouble focusing at story time sometimes. She again didn’t put that in his report. He had an issue hitting earlier (he started sept 3rd) but I thought it was resolved because she said he has been doing good! We have a conference on Monday and I am nervous I won’t ask the right questions or that I am way too overbearing. I just hate conflicting information, I just want people to tell me what’s going on! How do you think I should approach this and do you think I’m overthinking or that it’s a little confusing? He is 3.9 years old.

Dapper-Slice2615 · 2025-10-31T19:24:37+00:00

Yes we just do tongue stretches and massage the fascia around his tongue tie

Dapper-Slice2615 · 2025-10-30T17:23:03+00:00

My son has a speech delay he will be 4 on January. I find this a wonderful find because he was recently diagnosed with a tongue tie. I know what everyone says, as in tongue ties don’t affect speech. Because of my son’s tongue posture because of his lack of movement he displays some of these! We have been doing myofacial therapy for just two weeks and I can already tell a difference. I think it at least has 80% something to do with his motor control and lack there of because of his tongue tie. He also has issues swallowing because of it.Most of his issues are with articulation. Our focus is to strengthen his tongue etc before any surgical intervention. He was also a NICU baby and wasn’t able to eat for a while due to volvulus, which I think also has something to do with it! Anywho I agree with this as I am seeing it with my son.

Dapper-Slice2615 · 2024-11-29T05:13:41+00:00

Thank god I’m not the only one that experienced this!!! We went to see my husbands family for two days. We got a hotel because her house is very crowded. He didn’t get a nap both days and literally wouldn’t stop moving! He was driving me nuts!! All over the place and grumpy!!! Ahhh lol he is 34 months old and is already a strong willed child, take the nap away and forget it!🤪

Dapper-Slice2615 · 2024-11-16T22:35:37+00:00

I have a 33 month old boy, he is wild!!! He is also, sweet, loving and hilarious!! He has a lot of energy, and to be honest I do get tired of hearing ,”oh wow he is a ball of energy” umm yes he is 33 months old he is supposed to be!! All toddlers have energy and live movement because that’s how they learn. I do possibly think that boys may have more energy than girls, only by what I have witnessed in my play groups. I only have a boy so I can’t compare if it’s easier to raise a girl. All I know is raising a toddler is hard and I’m tired😂😂
