[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC is at the same table with a boy shouting constantly and never listen to teachers. Another kid at the same class would also scream and cry. My DC told us she’s so tired and depressed but what can we do? I’m sorry for those kids have ADHD or whatever but why is my child the one suffers?[/quote]

Your child will be fine. The ADHD kid - will most likely suffer from debilitating self-esteem issues as he transitions into adolescence, start to not care about school and underperform, and struggle his whole life to maintain healthy relationships. Your daughter will be taking her AP classes and will not have to worry about having those crazy, disruptive kids in her classes anymore. [/quote]

All because one teacher in first grade tried to help him focus, right? :roll:[/quote]

No, not because one teacher tried to help him focus. The pitfalls of ADHD and ASD 1 are almost impossible to avoid. It is an invisible disability that comes with a lot of shame and self-esteem issues. I know that it's hard for many people to understand, but many of the behaviors are beyond the individual's control, or they have to work so much harder to control those issues. It wears on kids over time and they start to give up, turn to drugs and alcohol, self-harm, etc. I've seen it over and over again, regardless of how great a family the child comes from. The difference is that in a family with more means, they are able to get the therapy, accommodations, special programs that the child needs, but the problems are still there. [/quote]
