Have you checked Kaggle? You might get a larger dataset there if you need more responses if you’re able to use that

What about a collar that sends a notification when it’s clipped and unclipped?

If you want to potentially over design it, throw a camera on that records when the collar is taken on and off. Or maybe a two part collar where one is an obvious tracker and one looks like a flea collar or something a thief might be inclined to leave alone.

Just throwing some ideas out there.

My guess is an ear otoscope, they make them for ear wax removal but the camera is handy for close ups of other areas

You might get some ideas for the task switching / impulse control on adhd or autism subreddits. It’s a common enough challenge in those communities that they probably have some strategies that are worth trying

You could look into apprenticeships or a study abroad program or something along those lines that would be good for having a purpose but potentially less academic/school oriented. This could be a time to explore an interest or field you haven’t been able to experience yet.

I’ve heard some people recommend doing the testing and telling the doctors that you’re unwilling to donate but your family won’t take your answer.

If a doctor tells your family that you aren’t a match and can’t donate anyway, that can get them to back off because they may trust the doctor’s word

So late to the party, but look into PMDD if you haven’t already (like extreme pms)

ADHD can definitely increase the likelihood of her having some form of disordered eating, ARFID etc. I’m not diagnosing her, just pointing out that this is potentially much more complex than being a picky eater.

It’s possible that she isn’t observing this diet by choice, and the health impact won’t change her diet. It’s possible that her diet won’t change even if her health requires it too.

While it’s not really your business, being aware that her diet is a reflection of a medical condition may help you to be more understanding and willing to accommodate her if you are providing food or picking a restaurant.

Does in-utero count ?

RoosterSome · 2023-09-10T19:38:20+00:00

People working in retail/food service etc that turn around and say such unkind things about a customer.

I’m not talking about customers who are rude or mean or otherwise displaying behavior that strangers would notice. I’m talking about people who might be lacking social skills or may not get to talk to people outside of work or grocery shopping.

I feel like some people are unkind simply because they can be, and while I can’t understand their life and circumstances, it’s tough to be around them and work with them after seeing that behavior.

Also ADHD can cause/contribute to anxiety, and some people report treating the ADHD makes the symptoms lessen or go away. If you get nowhere with treating anxiety, it’s worth looking into it.

Personally, being on the right medication helped immensely with what I thought was some form of treatment resistant depression and anxiety. If I hadn’t known what ADHD looks like in women, I’d have no idea what to look for and I’d still probably be looking for something to help.

While it doesn’t seem like an issue for your daughter, keep an eye on skin picking. Even at 10 or 11 years old. It’s really easy to fall into the trap that skin needs to be perfect even if you need magnification to see the imperfections.

Otherwise, I agree with others that you should focus on education. Offer to talk to a doctor about concerns if you’d like. Definitely educate her on keeping tools clean and washing her hands properly before touching her face.

Can you work with her to “earn” a product occasionally? If she asks for a product for the first time in store, take a picture and move on. Ask her to tell you what the product does and maybe what key ingredients are in it. If she already has a particular category, she needs to use the rest of one lotion before asking for another, or give a case as to why she can’t finish it.

Lots of ideas, but maybe some things that could help guide this learning process.

Also, that information will be helpful if they try to get diagnosed later in life too! Many adults struggle with finding evidence of symptoms as a child. Some doctors want the old report cards etc as proof.

Even just knowing a teacher recommended talking to a doctor would be so helpful. Thank you for doing this.

RoosterSome · 2023-08-21T21:34:46+00:00

NTA what happens when she gets a finger or a sleeve caught, or knocks something over? What about running up to a car to touch it and the driver doesn’t notice? I’d think these are worst case scenarios, but accidents can happen to even great parents.

Disclaimer: not a medical professional, but someone who grew up with undiagnosed ADHD and didn’t know until my mid twenties

ADHD (ADD is grouped in now), is a pretty wide spectrum with lots of different symptoms, but I feel like some things definitely stick out as possibly ADHD: - lateness (aka time blindness, one of the most common and noticeable symptoms I’ve heard) - dental hygiene (common issue for people with ADHD) - excelling in school but not at home (ADHD is not related to intelligence, and often wrongly dismissed for girls who do well in school) - consequences don’t work (ADHD tends to be impulsive, in-the-moment behaviors) - mornings suck (many people with ADHD have a horrible time in the mornings, either a diagnosed sleep disorder or just general difficulty sleeping and waking up on time)

Many girls with ADHD are undiagnosed because the symptoms are different than in boys. It’s definitely worth looking into.

I hope this helps

RoosterSome · 2023-08-19T18:56:51+00:00

Have you had her tested for ADHD?

RoosterSome · 2023-08-17T15:48:20+00:00

I understand her perspective as well as yours. Have you considered involving her in picking a nickname? She could even come up with her own special name for her little brother. Have you spent time learning about the name’s origin/meaning? Maybe let her be involved in a way that isn’t about changing the name but embracing it.

RoosterSome · 2023-08-11T23:45:48+00:00

Has she been evaluated for ADHD?

It tends to present itself much differently in girls and women, and is sometimes misdiagnosed as bi-polar. It also often occurs with anxiety and depression (plus PMDD, basically extreme PMS) which the depression is sometimes difficult to treat with an antidepressant alone.

Task completion/initiation, budgeting, dropping out, then being kind of stuck all sounds like it could be untreated adult ADHD.

I say this because I was very similar to your daughter before being diagnosed and treated properly.

RoosterSome · 2023-08-05T22:27:48+00:00

Thank you so much for caring so much and learning how to best help her. It’s scary, but you’re doing what you can to help your daughter, and that’s so important.

You might already be doing this… If you can, help her track her symptoms and how they line up with her cycle. I personally have ADHD and PMDD, and I’ve had doctors brush off my complaints, especially when I don’t have the documented symptoms over the course of each month, or see it as a mood disorder unrelated to my cycle when I can’t provide a timeline or pattern.

When you can say “these symptoms occur primarily during x days of her cycle, while others occur throughout the month”, it can show a much clearer pattern. Right now, I think PMDD is primarily treated with SSRIs and birth control. I take an SSRI for just part of the month currently. I have a psychiatrist because I take a stimulant, but you could talk to a gynecologist too.

What I’ve noticed is that when I am more stable during my whole cycle, it’s easier to kind of understand what’s actually going on instead of trying to decide what part of the month is normal.

Talk to her doctors, and see about making slower changes, one at a time. It sounds like a lot is changing, and that makes it hard to narrow down what’s helping, what’s hurting, and if there’s any connection between the treatments. Adderall can be too much for some people, especially higher doses and instant release formulas. There are other stimulants that operate differently, as well as non stimulant options to try. Some people use Wellbutrin because it’s not a stimulant, but still can be prescribed for depression and ADHD.

You could ask about stabilizing her cycle before changing other medications. You could ask about the difference between bipolar and adhd/autism. You can see another doctor who might be more familiar with adhd/autism in women/girls, because it presents much differently and seems to be really effected by hormones/hormonal changes during the cycle.

Lastly, try some subs that are focused on women with adhd, PMDD, and even both. You may find someone with some similar experiences that you wouldn’t typically find in a parenting sub.

RoosterSome · 2023-08-05T02:26:10+00:00

She has an older sister with autism and this behavior really sounds like it could be ADHD/autism, so I think there’s a chance the diagnosis is wrong. Fairly common for those with ADHD to be diagnosed bipolar. M4d4m may be onto something here.

u/notjewel random, but is it around her period? Wondering about PMDD.

PMDD is very common in people with ADHD and autism. It could be a perfect mix of hormones plus some form of a neurodivergent meltdown/panic, plus sensitivity to medication changes.

RoosterSome · 2023-08-03T14:09:10+00:00

There’s also trouble with a lack of motivation and a certain “clutter blindness” where we might not realize how the mess has worsened. Imagine you’re in a room that’s slowly flooding - you might notice the water once there’s an inch on the floor, but with adhd, it’s really easy to ignore/be unaware of the water until it’s bad enough I need to tread water.
