[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 475792, member: 11791"] Even with plain old vanilla-flavored ADHD... there is a tendency to be "scatter-brained", which leads to things being "out of proportion"... so, the tiniest thing becomes a major battle... and the big stuff is often a piece of cake. Biggest challenge for us is to find that fine balance between "total control" and "freedom"... because freedom = unstructured = blow-up... but no-freedom = frustration = blow=up, so... UGH. After a while, we figured out where to "expect" the blow-ups... and re-structured THOSE times, and lightened up a bit on another area where things consistently went well. And... its working, but to an outside observer, they would surely think our life is strange... you can trust your kid to assemble a complicated shelving unit, but NOT to go to the store??? There is always so much to learn. [/QUOTE]
