[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would lose my shit if I ever heard her say "I can't do this because my brain works differently" (or whatever people tell kids to explain why they're taking pills every day). [/quote] This was why I felt like you were writing about our kids. We are the "people" you refer to. And while many of us do tell our kids that they take pills because their brains work differently, I don't know any parent of a child with ADHD who tells them they can't do something because of their diagnosis. Also, it sounds like you are conflating medication with simply knowing your diagnosis. The "your brain works differently" line is for the diagnosis, not the meds. Parents of kids with ADHD who do not take meds, especially, need to explain the disorder to their children so they know why they have to work harder at certain things.[/quote]
