It is a disgrace that patients are being treated like this. If you get a private dx, it is not recognised by the NHS - even when it is a psychiatrist working private & the NHS. If you are diagnosed overseas, no dice. What a mess.

It is actually significantly under-diagnosed. Has been for decades. This study shows how under-diagnosed in adults.

That is a large part of the problem for kids with ADHD… it is criminal.

I can tell you it does get better. My son is really much better at age 16.5. My 13, soon to be 14 year old daughter is in her rough stage. Is your son on ADHD meds?

Parenting children with #ADHD will never ever be a one size fits all. You do it by the seat of your pants and whatever metaphor comes to mind, and you do your best. You show love and support, and you have to take a bit of TLC for yourself. It is not for the faint hearted.

Glasman does not fit into the Tory & Establishment mould, so he joined Labour. Classism, neoliberalism, elitism and even racism are the blight that damages the UK.

That is a hard problem. And it persists long into adulthood. Only now can I say no to my impulse buys. I do fail at times. And this impulsiveness can create failed relationships - and often do. Spouses just can’t cope.

90% of ADHD parenting is weathering meltdowns - extremely hard. I don’t enjoy it - and I have ADHD & RSD too, so it can become a fraught situation. It takes both of us some days. Immediate gratification is one of the hardest challenges in ADHD.
