I think a hard part also has been trying to advocate for my child to the adults, where it might seem as I'm making "excuse" for his "behaviors". How has anyone seemed to overcome or get through to the adults that are around the child, any resources or tips that have worked would be greatly appreciated ! Unfortunately, there's not a lot of resources and knowledge behind ADHD and most adults in this small area seem to think that ADHD is not a real thing and just believe the child chooses to behave impulsively and are just acting bad because we "allow" it.
I will forever advocate for my child regardless but I feel it hard to explain to adults, that truly no child wants to "misbehave" and get in trouble consistently. I also understand that if all the supporting adults are not on the same page on how to deal with the symptoms correctly, we can't expect the child to effectively understand themselves to use the coping techniques.
