Most people will not understand if they don’t have personal experience with ADHD. My family and friends do not understand at all. In that case it’s up to you to find supports who do have some understanding because we all need support. I think it’s sad that we don’t take mental health issues serious in this country because we can’t actually see the problem. There is no concrete physical evidence in diagnosing ADHD like most health issues. All we can do is observe their behavior. And behavior is very complex. Do you feel your son is receiving adequate support through medication, school support, any behavior therapy that may be available?
