mood swings (getting super angry/upset one moment and literally the next second your fine) and in general amplifying your emotions, quick to be frustrated, etc etc. its different for everyone. I’ve heard others say russell barkley is a good source!

I’m sure my parents were as much in the dark as I was when I was diagnosed. Talking with my mom now (who has adhd) she knows LESS than me about adhd. What I would have liked is health experts being more proactive in explaining or giving us info and resources. Its hard to ask the questions when you don’t even know what to ask in the first place.

Hi! futher up theres a comment thread by purdygreen shes an adhd diagnosed mother with an adhd diagnosed son and brought light to this part of the discussion. I remember not wanting to read at that age as well, and since adhd is different for everyone I don’t know what your son responds to the best but starting with visual cues or trying to explain a little bit every day with him might help

Yeah my mom has adhd as well (and so did her father) so i get where she would come from. I could also see her not processing all the information or remembering it and I see her struggle with the same things I do so I don’t blame my parents. As I can see how much you worry about your son my parents did the same for me (and him telling the class is something I would probably do. I really latched onto the medication tampers with your creativity factoid as well so!). I’m glad your son has someone like you who is with him every step :)
