[quote=Anonymous]I have adhd and managed my whole life without medications. Both my kids are on them though. If the issues are largely organization and focus and executive function, then you deal with it by being very patient and not caring if not everything gets done while you scaffold skills and learn tricks for filling in the gaps your brain has left. As they get older and have better metacognitiojn that will be somewhat easier. There are lot of books and coaches that help. If the issue is impulse control, that’s much harder and medication may be necessary to keep them and others safe. [/quote]
