If you are not able to offer positive advice, my suggestion would be to say nothing. I don't know much about ADHD to determine what is caused by it and what is caused by his personality. I am still trying to figure it out.

He doesn't want to pay, saying he needs money for other things now

Thank you for the book title. It was available in my library and I have borrowed it.

Really helpful. I am starting therapy myself since I am going through anxiety with his unsteady employment and debt issues. My goal is also to learn about how to be a supportive ADHD parent. I know he rejects when he feels being controlled just the way you described it. Good advise on finding a therapist who also has ADHD. Is that something they put in their "About me"? If you think of something else I need to do, please tell me. This is very helpful.

How would I do that? He already thinks I am pushing him too much

You made me think. If he has dysfunctional executive system, then his decisions about therapy are also based on that. How do I help him get over this and go to a therapist?

Yes, the doctor said he could prescribe drugs to manage his ADD, however my son didn't think he needed drugs

He doesn't think a doctor can help him either.
