I am constantly amazed by people that say they know about ADHD, then go and deal with that person inappropriately and they wonder why a small situation has turned into a major incident with both parties at loggerheads with each other. We all know how difficult dealing with a person who has ADHD but please try to think how difficult it is for the person with ADHD. You may only have to deal with a situation every now and then, the person with ADHD has to live with it each and every day.

I am not saying that you have to put up with certain behaviours but having the right information on how to support a person with ADHD can go a long way and eliminate misunderstandings , hurt feelings and make for a far more harmonious relationship. Try asking the person the best way to support them , care and understanding can go a long way please remember this.

Thank you      

Evening all , I had an interesting coaching session today with one of my clients, it was so good to see how far this young lady had come. The way she now deals with things is so much better then she did before. She is slowly starting to organize her home and place of work but most importantly she is now seeing that not all the negative things  that happens in her life is down to the way she deals with things or not dealing with things. I do hope that she continues to to develop this further as I know she can.

If anyone is trying to develop skills needed to manage there ADHD then please don't give up. Keep trying be consistent and it will pay off for you.

  

What support would you have liked 

Hi there everyone , I have been asked to develop a training programme that will help improve the support offered to young adults leaving care or returning home. This has got me thinking of all the adults that I have supported over the many years that I have been coaching. If you look back what if anything would have helped you through those difficult years. 

I would be interested in hearing your views on the subject of support, think about the difficulties that you have faced , and in which areas I.E

1, Paying bills 
2. Emotional support 
3. Life skills development 
4. Dealing with anger, frustration 

Thanks for reading this and I look forward to hearing from you. 

Evening all ,

I have been in London today , I was down there meeting with the Staff from a young persons home. I enjoyed talking with them and more so coming up with some management tools that can be passed on to the young person themselves .

 It always astounds me that so many support staff are thrown in at the deep end when asked to support a person with ADHD or similar condition.

I do feel that support and training should been given to Staff so they are more able to support and help the young person though the mind field of emotions. 

We must remember that many young people have had no idea of why they act the way they do. They have had no one to work with them. We need to support both the workers and the young people.

Thank you for inviting me to talk to you 

Good evening all, I wanted to bring the message below to your attention . Hope to see many of you there

Evening all , I have been working with a young man with social  interaction difficulties who dose not seem to have good observation skills either. His family are convinced that he has not got ADHD I on the other hand can see that he has many of the symptoms. I am always shocked at how many families are steadfast against seeking the truth. They very rarely put the person with the difficulties first . I hear all the time

• I don't want him to be ladled
• No one else knows
• All that needs to happen is they need to grow up 
• He thinks the world owns him a favour for being hear
• They can't  have that they are intelligent and they do well at school                                                                                                                                         

When are people going to see that any of the developmental disorders have nothing to do with intelligence, many of the people I work with are quite intelligent but having a condition such as ADHD or Aspergers syndrome will make  daily living difficult , these difficulties stand in the way of a person reaching their full potential. Having ADHD or Aspergers is not the end of the road it is only the beginning. To overcome such difficulties a person needs to re look at how they deal with daily life issues, it is only be dealing with these that a person can develop their skills in order to bring balance to their life and reach full potential
