[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have ADHD and my parents certainly punished me when I misbehaved. I had things taken away and privileges were revoked. It was probably the only thing that prevented me from escalating the misbehavior. Our relationship is close and undamaged. On a similar note I fear for when this generation of kids with and without diagnoses grows up and becomes employed. They will have been conditioned to only expect praise and won't know how to handle things like hard deadlines and performance reviews that are anything less than stellar. They are so used to adults making accommodations and excuses for them. Yes, if you have ADHD the road might be tougher, but it doesn't mean the expectations should be any different and your job as a parent is to prepare them for their future. [/quote]
