[quote=Anonymous]NP.  Both of my kids have ADHD as well as some other diagnoses.  We are in public school and one has a 504 and the other does not (although that may come in the future).

Both have friends now, in upper elementary and middle school, but it took a while.  Both have had better and worse teachers - some teachers have been tolerant, some have been very good at assisting with executive functioning struggles, with social struggles, and some teachers have been not been good at any of it.

We're not on a Facebook group for ADHD (although I am on a Facebook group for another diagnosis) - you haven't said the age of your DC but I have found that, just as maturity level can be ~3 years delayed, in our experience so can social level and friendship.

IME the best help for kids with ADHD in a school setting (meds help one of my DC but not the other) is a tolerant teacher and a school that doesn't view behavior issues as permanent, views them as an incident rather than an indictment.  [/quote]
