[quote=Anonymous]My 9 year old adhd DD is great in so many ways, but she can be annoying. For example, if she makes a joke and anyone laughs, she’ll make the same joke a million more times. She does this with goofy faces, goofy voices, etc.  A kid with laugh for a minute and my kid just doesn’t know when to stop.

I point it out to her gently “e.g. did you notice how larla laughed when you said X and then stopped laughing and moved away after a while?”  She often will insist that Larla thought it was hilarious or she’ll shut down and get very sad.  I don’t want to crush her spirit but I see that she’s annoying other kids (and adults).

Have you been able to help your kid with this? My kid has stopped talking to me/confiding in me so much because whenever she reports that no one played with her at recess or didn’t get invited to a birthday party, I often try to “coach” her on ways she can get a long a bit better with other kids and it (understandably) feels like a lecture to her.  I just can’t find the right balance between coaching her and just being a safe space to vent.

She’s medicated for adhd and she’s a very sweet kid—caring, flexible, etc.  I think this is just part of her personality. [/quote]
