[quote=Anonymous]Don't underestimate your ability to help your child based on your own experience. I have a son with ADHD, and I *suspect* my DH has it too (although undiagnosed). I'll have read many books, talked to several friends, teachers, his therapist etc., to tackle an issue our son is having, and nothing really seems to work... until my DH will casually remark... "Why don't you try XYZ? That's what works for me when I have that issue..." And I'm like... why didn't you tell me that weeks ago? The answers seem so obvious to my DH, because he's lived this way his whole life. Sure, therapists and professionals are great and needed and can also help a ton, but you have basically spent a lifetime observing and understanding what your child is going through full-time, and no professional can match that experience.
