Day Two of ADHD



This morning Seth burst into my room with his “night vision goggles” trained on my face. Meaning two laser points of light were stabbing my sleep weary eyes.

I waved him off with muffled outrage and he disappeared. I blinked at the clock. It was early. Very early.

Today we have plans to go out and do things. And I’m nervous. What if he has a melt down? What if he has an episode where he has an emotional out burst and yells? What if he’s crazy and people look at him like he’s that kid?

And then I remember that we’ve been taking him in public and hanging out with friends for five years now. Why should an official diagnosis hold us back?

Yes, he is sometimes unruly. He says embarrassing things. He forgets and ignores and talks out of turn. But you know what? We’ve been dealing with this for five years.

We got this.

  1. Seth could not have been given better parents then the ones he has now, You and Tyler will help Seth grow to be a wonderful young man and with your help learn how to function within a good boundry. Thank you for sharing. Gpa and I see a wonderful loving little boy and a caring big brother, and with your and Tyler's help will grow to be a loving young man and still be a caring big brother and your son.
