[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, this could be anxiety, adhd, and/or low level demand avoidance. Regardless, I’d try to think of this as a mild (hopefully) disability, not a behavioral issue. The fact that you give him schedules and it doesn’t help is what makes me think of demand avoidance. You are not solving the problem with a schedule, because a lack of schedule is not the real problem. There is a book called Low Demand Parenting and the following IG accounts might be helpful: PDAnorthamerica Lindsayisdoingherbest Don’t worry about diagnosis or not, just see if anything resonates/if there are any nuggets If it’s straight up ADHD, making schedules at 5am is way too late. You need to do the monthly and weekly planning and help him take small bites and spread it out. Unfortunately, despite your great intentions, your emotions are part of the problem, and you are contributing to the overwhelm. I say this having done this myself. Good luck, you can do this![/quote]
