[quote=Anonymous]Just to give you something else to look out for- it's not just organizational skills that's affected by ADHD. We had our child tested by 3 psychologists for ADHD and the first question was always - Does she have any friends? I thought it was odd because what would ADHD have anything to do with friends? She's in 9th grade now and friendships are always very rocky. A couple of years ago, I read a book called "Is it you, me or ADD" and I realized that my spouse of 16 years probably has ADHD too. The book explained why our dynamic has been what it is. Don't get me wrong, my marriage is awesome in many ways but the ADHD mind does wreak havoc in a lot of our daily interactions. Our child is now doing social skills group therapy and is doing much better with her awareness of herself, her surroundings and her friendships. This was also a very helpful book: 100 Questions & Answers About Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) In Women And Girls. [/quote]
