[quote=Anonymous]Oh OP, I can totally relate as a mom of a 13 year old with ADHD. It’s exhausting, it’s frustrating, it’s antagonizing, and it causes a mama to worry so much. I would perhaps move this to the special needs board for some useful advice. Have you tried watching Russell Bartky’s videos for parents on YouTube? A lot of helpful insights there from a doctor who knows ADHD in and out. Lastly - keep your focus on this. Your son sounds…well, really kind of awesome. “He's a sweet kid; he cares about animals and anyone smaller than him. He likes to seem intelligent by spouting obscure facts. He likes being funny. He likes to listen to audiobooks; he's got a creative way of looking at the world. He's smart.“ Executive functioning skills will come, initiative will improve with age. But you can’t force kindness, you can’t force intelligence, you can’t teach humor. Those are gifts your son naturally has, and it’s wonderful.[/quote]
