The Symptoms of ADHD
When asked to explain ADHD symptoms an astonishing account was given showing the lack of certainty, consistency or even knowledge of any symptoms at all. Struggling to answer the question yet unable to avoid the embarrassment, colleagues looked on in amusement unwilling or unable to support or indeed rescue the good Dr Vonnegut from his apparent mental trauma.
Should we continue to rely on these individuals to tell us how we should raise our kids? Just because kids fidget or fight in the classroom doesn’t mean they are mentally ill needing drugs such as Prozac or Ritalin. Symptoms of ADHD can be found in all of us at some time or other but it doesn’t mean that we are mentally ill.
Taking a more prudent approach by finding all the facts (not opinions) about what is making your child behave boisterously at inappropriate moments is better that relying upon the uncertain utterances of unscientific criteria. Arm yourself with the facts.

just ignore him. He will soon be on holidays for xmas and am trying to find a solution to the problem. He was diagnoised as having autism at primary school. Any suggestions?
Hello Eloise,
Thank you for getting in touch. The first thing that we always ask is to have a full and searching medical examination in order to establish if there is any underlying physical problem that’s manifesting in the way your son feels.
It maybe that you will need to find an independent GP or clinic that will undertake this.
What subject is he taking in Uni?
