[quote=Anonymous]Put yourselves in a teen’s shoes. You have a younger sibling that has hyperfocus ADHD (so not hyperactive) and is explosive. There are occasional incidents where the younger sibling acts out. There has been a little bit of improvement, but there could be moments or days that are tough. While you’re in those shoes and your younger sibling has just calmed down after an episode… You stick your tongue out at the younger child. You choose this. What is going on inside this teenager’s mind? Our family is struggling because of the younger sibling already. And I know that the teenager feels it, hates it. Why would this young person do anything to get the younger sibling to get riled up again immediately after an awful episode? And you cannot say it was for attention. Because this was done sneakily, and the teenager hoped that it wouldn’t be seen. I’m trying to understand.[/quote]
