With ADHD being overly diagnosed lately, many teachers are less receptive to students that really do struggle with the disorder. Parents of children with ADHD tend to have a very different experience than parents without. Throughout this journey, my son and I have both learned a lot. We've learned a lot about ADHD and coping with symptoms and we've learned a lot about dealing with teachers and the school system in general. Personally, I learned that many other parents are fighting the same battles. If my son's journey is able to help bring some understanding to the table for other students, parents, teachers, school administrators and the like...we will consider this a successful mission. But at the end of the day, I will smile if even one person is inspired, encouraged, motivated, or simply more understanding of what it's like for a child who truly does have ADHD. It is NOT an excuse.
