[quote=Anonymous]I went to a top 3 school. Many of my classmates are discovering they have ADHD or the way you are. They had great careers but are discovering their kids are daydreaming or are hyperactive. Usually at least one parent then learns they have a similar brain process as the struggling child. Sometimes it’s an uncle or other relative which can make it a bit harder. For my friends who they or their spouse have a similar brain pattern, they treat that parent first. That way the parent can know what the CBT feels like, the side effect of medication, the impact of all the different treatments, scaffolding etc. Then when parent felt comfortable, they use what they’ve learned on themselves with the kids. Even if the kid goes with different treatment, usually the parent was enough of a proxy to understand what the child was going through so that it doesn’t feel like they’re in the dark about their child’s experience.

Kids are doing great. Side effect: executive functioning requires less energy for the parent too. It’s like getting a new battery to run on.[/quote]
