My son was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 6 years old he is now 13. He is the most loving caring boy I have ever met but people don’t always see that he is impulsive and struggles with social situations. He runs when things get too much. Today I had the news that his school can no longer cater for him (even though he hasn’t had the right support from day one). He has had a positive referral to a learning center and I’m hoping my little boy will soon get the education he needs. I wish I could change the way people see ADHD. They are not naughty, difficult children they just need loving and guidance. Just because you can’t see ADHD/ODD doesn’t make it less real.
