Adult ADHD Symptoms: Is This You? |
|
A bit like the elephant on the dinner table that families don't talk about, adult ADHD is something that people often know is there but don't necessarily talk about. But at some point they say "Okay, this exists. This is a problem. I don't know if this has been a problem that has been genetic, or what, but what I do want to know is the answers to some of these questions about why I'm struggling with these ADHD symptoms." Recently, ADHD Secrets did a worldwide survey in which they asked 30,000 people who have ADHD symptoms or think they have adult ADHD, what their ADHD symptoms are and what kinds of problems this causes in their lives, both at home and at work. One respondent wrote... |

Signs and Symptoms of ADD |
|
The signs of Attention Deficit Disorder may or may not be incredibly apparent. Because of the intricacies of this disorder and the variations from child to child, diagnosis may prove to be a difficult process. The first step is understanding that hyperactivity is not synonymous with Attention Deficit Disorder. While a child may exhibit an increased level of activity with this disorder, it is not an inherent factor of ADD. On the other hand, there are certain characteristics that are prevalent in a child with ADD, such as inattentiveness, impulsiveness, and being easily distracted. Inattentiveness and distractibility go hand and hand. A child with ADD may have a... |

Is Your Child Lazy Or Is It ADHD?
Author:
Angie Dixon
Having grown up with undiagnosed Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), I know how it feels to be labeled "lazy" when you're really just fighting ADHD and doing the best you can to fit your ADHD square peg into the round hole of life. I remember, as an ADD child, deciding I wouldn't write my spelling words five times. I just didn't want to do it. To a kid with ADHD, that kind of work is just torture, and I quit doing it. I remember that ADHD experience because I failed sixth grade spelling, though I went to the spelling bee as champion for my class. I remember how painful it was when my parents, who'd never heard of ADHD, called me lazy--and meant it I know how it feels to be the kid with ADHD. But I accused my ADHD son of laziness recently for not doing his work at school. Even though I know about ADHD. Even though I know what it's like. I forgot. How much harder it must be for parents who don't understand ADHD and don't know what to do about their child's learning problems. What I want to say to all parents is this: You know your child. You know whether he's being lazy or really struggling. You may not know why. You may not have an ADHD diagnosis to fall back on. You may not be an expert on ADHD or parenting. But you know your kid and you love him. Remember that, and seek out people who do know and who can help. It's frustrating and even infuriating to see a kid we know is bright not living up to his potential. But think about how frustrating it must be to the child, to know he's doing everything he knows how to do and just isn't making it. So think about that the next time your child seems to be "slacking off," and investigate whether there might be something going on related to his ADHD, if he's been diagnosed, or whether he might have ADHD, if he hasn't, and whether you should talk to a qualified professional about your son's difficulties.

Adult ADHD Symptoms? 3 Rock-Solid Ways To Beat Distraction |
|
Are you getting hit over the head by the 3 King Kongs of distraction? Probably. Think about it: In this digital economy, you have about 3,000 advertisements or marketing communications that are pummeling you every single day. That’s 24,500 a week, that’s about 1.24 million distractions, advertisements, and communications every single year... So how does someone with adult ADHD, or even ADHD symptoms, keep focused on a task in this kind of environment? It's no wonder you're distracted! Try one, two or even all three of these tricks today, and crush the 3 King Kongs of distraction! Adult ADHD Tip #1: Unplug your phone. For someone with adult ADHD symptoms, calls can be a big distraction. So unplug it, and turn your cell off, when you need to get something done. Don’t take calls. You can answer them later, after you've gotten your work done! Also, when you are working on a task, don’t look at your e-mail. E-mail can be simply deadly for someone with adult ADHD symptoms! You can even take it a step further: don’t even have your e-mail up. Just look at your desktop; don’t even pop up Eudora or Outlook. Adult ADHD Tip #2: Put a sign on your door. If you have adult ADHD and you have a home office, it can be absolutely destructive to be available to anyone who stops by. I have a regular office and a home office, and I have adult ADHD symptoms. So, I put a sign on my door, when I’m on calls, when I’m recording anything, when I’m really focused and trying to get something done and it says, “To all my friends, do not bother me between this time and this time. Come back later.” Friends or associates leave a message on my voice mail (because my phone’s unplugged!) and I get back to them later in the day. Maybe you can get away with having an open door policy if you don't... |
