It’s nice that you mentioned how a child with ADHD usually has trouble concentrating on anything at all, no matter how interested he or she is on the subject or topic. It seems my niece was diagnosed of having ADHD and the whole family wants to help her out with coping with it. I heard child ADHD counseling could help a lot, so I should probably tell my brother about it.

This is a great topic and certainly helps others to truly understand ADHD and the impact it has on children and adults. I hope it helps people to become more sensitive and understanding to the needs of those affected by ADHD.

My G was initially diagnosed with ADHD at around six years old, but that diagnosis was subsumed by his autism diagnosis a year later. I spent many years learning about autism and advocating for my son, but didn’t always make as much progress with it all as I would have hoped.

Eight or so years later, during a three-year eval, G was diagnosed with ADHD. The behaviors that result from ADHD are FAR more debilitating to G than his autism, which basically presents as his being quirky and openhearted. I really wish I had delved more into ADHD earlier in his life, because I think I could have helped him so much more.

I am not someone who thinks autism should be “cured,” but I do think proactively addressing his ADHD might have really made a difference in my G’s life, especially his academics…

Great post — very informative.

Thanks and love,

I didn’t realize that temper is associated with ADHD. That is good to know since it would be good for every parent to know all of the signs of ADHD. That way, they can get their child properly taken care of if any of these signs manifest themselves. If they don’t get their child the care they need, it won’t be fair to you or the child.

Making sure you know the signs of ADHD is a good idea so you can look for those signs in your children. That way, you can get them the help they need. You can also start dealing with them differently, and realizing they can’t do certain things as easily as others.

In reply to James Bergman. LOL.. I understand having a child who can't sit still. Once we figured out my son has ADHD, we started to understand just how much it affected his school life and his ability to learn (particularly learning how to read).

Thanks for this list. I may need to take my son in to check him for ADD or ADHD. He is definitely off the wall active and can’t focus to save his life. On the bright side, I never have to worry about sending him outside to play. He can’t sit still anyway.
