Some People Have Asked...

"I still don't get what you mean by the truth behind ADHD..."

Honestly, I'm glad you have asked!

There is a whole lot more to this "truth" I speak of, and I have been struggling with how to explain it.

I just couldn't find the words when I started sharing this message.

Let me see what I can do here:

Simply put - The truth behind ADHD, is that 9 times out of 10 there is something more contributing to the behavior of your child than just these supposed symptoms and problem behaviors.

Some medical doctors refer to other problems as having a "co-morbid" existence, or in other words, there is another disorder or cluster of behaviors involved.

I am NOT necessarily referring to co-morbidity here.

Instead, I am talking about the overall context of life and the events that go on around us day to day.

A proper diagnosis is just about less than half the battle.

Let me say this a different way:

Once you have the diagnosis (or think you have a diagnosis), the real work is just beginning.

Regardless of whether or not you or your child (or if you are a teacher and you think a child has ADHD), the diagnosis alone does nothing.

Medication alone, in my most humble and honest opinion will do nothing more than cover up what is going on.

Imagine for a moment if your child's alleged ADHD was really a gift?

  • What if your child had endless creativity and just needed a better way to express that gift?

  • What if your child had sensory integration problems (difficulty with certain fabrics and touches)?

    Just imagine the possibilities is all that I ask, before you point the finger and say: My child has ADHD.

    That is the TRUTH Behind ADHD.

    The real work, the real truth, is what is going on all around you and your child.

    The real truth is what you do with a diagnosis of ADHD, or any other kind for that matter.

    As always, keep your questions coming, and keep your eyes posted for what is about to unfold here.

    WHY The Truth!

    As an adult, a parent, an individual, a spouse, and in your various other roles in life - you are constantly bombarded with messages.

    Whether it is about ADHD, Depression, Bipolar, Trouble At School...

    There is someone, somewhere trying to get your attention.

    Take this blog for instance!

    I want YOUR attention...

    As a parent of a child with ADHD - or if you are a teacher in a classroom setting with students who either have ADHD or whom you suspect has ADHD:

    There is so much information to know and understand.

    • Everyone has an opinion
    • ADHD has become mainstream and common.
    • Problems become bigger and faster before you know it

    "So why the truth?"

    As a parent or a teacher - YOUR time is valuable and limited.

    You NEED the truth.
    You NEED answers.
    You NEED them NOW!

    You don't have TIME to wait - and in some cases, you CAN'T wait for answers.

    Waiting lists are LONG...
    Tests take time and preparation...

    Meanwhile, YOUR life is being impacted as is the child's life.

    Things are hectic - and you want to know what to do.

    Enter the TRUTH

    The most common question I hear - at one point or another - is:

    How do I help my child understand what ADHD is?

    It's always a variation of that variety...

    • What is ADHD?
    • Why does my child behave a certain way?
    • How do I explain to my child that his or her behavior is unacceptable?
    • How do I get my child to recognize what he or she is doing in that moment?

    Questions are everywhere...

    My response:

    Regardless of the specific question - I always tell parents and teachers to look at the bigger picture.

    Consider for a moment what is going on with the child and in the child's immediate circle of influence.

    What has changed?

    More on the big picture soon...

    Keep your questions coming!
