[quote=Anonymous]It's worth getting evaluated because with inattentive, academics get exponentially harder. Some of the emotional dysregulation and frustration tolerance smooths out with maturity. Will you consider meds? I would think about this and research it because it's good to have a consensus with your spouse beforehand. Also, consider what else you can streamline with household routines and organization to help from an ADHD perspective. I know I've posted about this before but the book "organization solutions for people with adhd" helped me figure out why things weren't working for my kid. One other thing: when ADHD (or really any neurodivergence, mental illness, or genetic condition) runs in your family and you start to observe it in your child, resist the urge to infer, predict, or catastrophize. I remind myself, almost as a mantra, that my child is not the same person as my relative and my family is not the same as my family of origin.[/quote]
