[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a phrase I've heard in my reading about ADHD: "ADHD rarely travels alone." It's worth checking back in with his therapist or the psychologist who diagnosed him about anxiety. [b]Therapy for ADHD needs to include two components: 1) techniques to address executive functioning deficits and improve focus but *also* 2) therapy to address the emotions that come along with being different. Kids with ADHD hear many more negative comments about their behavior than is typical for a child, and that comes with an emotional cost that needs addressed too. [/b] --Adult with ADHD and anxiety[/quote] We were doing both for a while but his therapist "released" him and said they didn't have anything to talk about. ?? But the behavior persists on occasion. His spiritedness or "extraness" or whatever you want to call it. It's normal behaviors but way amplified.[/quote]
