[quote=Anonymous]Even as we parents struggle sometimes with our special needs kids, I noticed something positive today that was distinct to my son's ADHD, and thought I'd start a thread of positives. We tried to go to Urgent Care for something not totally urgent and were told that we'd need to wait 90 minutes to see the doctor--even though we'd had an appointment. This was *after* waiting 30 minutes to see the assistant. I don't know what it was, but my son was completely unbothered and we went on our way, joking about how we could take his blood pressure using a toy doctor's kid. He's not worried about when or where we'll take care of the medical issue--he was just ready for dinner. My daughter, very high executive function, would have been bummed about the wasted time and worried. I guess because my son is a little spacey and absorbed in the moment just did not care at all. If that's ADHD, I can see why many kids with ADHD have a lot of friends. Some of them can roll with the punches.

I apologize if this makes someone want to punch *me*--I know that ADHD can come in a zillion different formations and for many kids with ADHD, that would not be the outcome. But we're new to my son's diagnosis and trying to understand the positives as well as the things that seem big to work on.
