Fuck. Was I always supposed to be able to get to sleep inside of ten minutes? What do you mean my attention is supposed to be like a searchlight that follows my eyes, and I’m not supposed to look through things? Why are all these objects in a pile distinct entities? I thought I had to use the ‘search’ function to return random loot from the pile? Why aren’t these random background noises filling me with a steady, seething rage?
Wishing you luck! I’m sure that can be difficult to watch as a parent
Only the hardest thing I’ve ever done. A bachelor’s in psychology and ten years with someone with a different specific ADHD diagnosis didn’t prepare me.
As difficult as it is for us parents, it looks worse to have it. We finally saved up enough to get him evaluated, and the wait list for that is half a year. I don’t get how this isn’t a bigger topic in policy and public health.
Sending love from my corner of the world to yours 🫂. On the upside it sounds like his parents are the exactly kind of zealous advocates every kid really deserves
Thanks buddy. Best of luck to you and yours
