Quotes:
“I believe the best gift parents can give their ADHD teens is the gift of understanding. They have intentions to follow through, but their fast brain gets in their way.”
“People with ADHD often get labelled as lazy, unreliable, unmotivated. These labels imply the ADHDer intends to be distracted/procrastinate.”
“If you’re getting feedback from other parents or your teachers are saying it, an executive function route might be a good one for your teen.”
