[quote=Anonymous]As a late diagnosed mom of two kids, one of whom has ADHD also, I urge you to lower your expectations of how things “should” be and to learn to laugh about as much of the foibles as you can. Your household life and schedule is likely going to look and feel different than many of your peers. Whatever unique thing works for your family is what works, and it’s best to own it and embrace it. Yes, your DH should try meds. Stimulants wear off by the end of the day, so he’ll know if it benefits him or not with little risk. It’s worth a shot. For many ADHDers, it’s the first time we’ve ever felt our minds really still. Reading your post reminds me of how far we’ve come over time as a family. There’s progress to be made and a lot of help out there (including counselors who ***do*** know ADHD which I can’t recommend more highly). You (all) can do this! [/quote]
