1. Tone coukd have been more supportive. Itbiscreallybhard coning to terms with harsh realities around your child having ADHD

2. Saying ADHD type 1 or 2 is not a particularly helpful correction. It can make it more confusing. It is important to note that there is considerable fluidity between the three (not two) subsets of how ADHD presents .

1. Attention deficit hyperactive disorder 
2. ADHD predominantly inattentive type
3. ADHD combined type

Children often move from from first to second subtypes over time especially by adulthood but there may bd periods of exhibiting symptoms in the third sub type.

ADHD requires life long management and considerable supports. The way it presents can be confusing. There are often co-morbidities with other learning
differences and mental health conditions. The way ADHD presents is complex and not easy to categorize neatly.[/quote]
