We've just had hearing tests for my kid that often says he couldn't hear things from an early age... So we are concentrating on the aspects of neurodivergence that actively effect hearing x

My 14 year old son has ADHD and so do I a male at 53 years old. I was recently diagnosed because I seen the improvement my son has had with Vyvanse. Anyways I guess this is a question, when I was younger I lied about everything I just had to talk non stop and if it meant making things up I would. My son is going through this now and I’m just dumbfounded at how he makes things up. I had never heard that lying was a part of ADHD and Ive recently read that lying is a part of it. I guess I’m asking to reaffirm my belief that it is an issue. And how to deal with it. Please and thanks. Mike F.

What's your experience with the phrase "Why don't you listen?"
@a-ms976024 күн бұрын
I'm careful who i tell what my shortcomings are (forgetfulness etc) in case they only look for and find those traits and ignore the positives. People see people with ADHD and other things as a liability even though i strive for near perfection to balance it out

It's a processing of information disorder for me. I hear, but I don't fully process the information (unless I am really interested in the subject matter) - I miss bits of the information and my brain compensates by filling in gaps or ask the person to repeat what they just said. It's like having a filter on in the brain to filter out the non-interesting information/or too complex information, and pay attention to the interesting stuff.

I still can’t shake the suspicion that people who say “Why don’t you listen?” or “I told you,...” sometimes didn’t tell me and are just using my immersion as a cover story.

I am on the list to get diagnosed. My son got diagnosed and I had my aha moment for myself. I didn’t realize life shouldn’t be this hard. I starting sharing things I thought was normal with my family and I started to realize my life struggles are not considered “normal” at all.

I embrace my sadness now, rather than try to go against it. If I get a burst of energy before it kicks in, I use that to get things done especially with 2 small children under 5. Hang in there everyone.
