ADHD/DYSLEXIA and a son with it

[VanessaBrown]

I have ADHD and dyslexia and had it all my life and passed it on to one child my oldest son. My mother took me to the military psychiatrist when she was in the military on base. He told her I had it and she never got meds to help me. I have struggled all my life with it in school and relationships and jobs and now passed it to my son. I am CNA,CMT,MA going back to school to be a lpn it is harder to study and work and life all together.

I’m sorry to hear you are struggling and that your mother didn’t get you the help that you need., that doesn’t mean you can’t get the help for your child. Use your life as a learning tool and take your child to be evaluated and get him/her the help that they require.

My daughter has ADHD..., I got her evaluated and she’s now on medication that helps her focus enough to do her school work. She also sees a school counselor, and she get speech, and occupational therapy.
