[quote=Anonymous]Two kids + DH with ADHD. Kids are on the milder end. DS is more impulsive diagnosed in 9th grade and meds helped a lot. I had suspected for a while but it didn't really debilitate him at school until the pressures ramped up in HS. Now in college and doing great, now off meds. DD we completely missed because she has inattentive type. Like DS, diagnosed in HS when she started falling apart. Now a college freshman and still struggles with EF skills and needs her medication. DH, I've just learned not to delegate critical things to him, to be extremely clear in instructions, and stick to consistent routines. e.g. when it came to getting kids to summer camps, he was in charge of mornings but could not handle inconsistent car pooling arrangements. It had to be the same every day. He has other strengths but I've had to embrace being the family/house manager.[/quote]
