Just wondered if anyone can give advice on how to support my adult daughter who lives with me and is now officially diagnosed with ADHD. We've suspected this for a while, and she's had all kinds of issues inc complete disorganisation, underachievment throughout school, dropped out of uni, hasn't been able to hold down a job for more than a few weeks, so many other things that now seem to make sense.
I am autistic so have my own exec function issues, massive anxiety, plus menopause and not long separated, so I'm already feeling overwhelmed and exhausted myself and can't work out where to start with supporting dd. I suspect I also have ADHD, which doesn't really help because I just see all the problems I had at her age and didn't know how to cope with, probably still don't.
I wondered if anyone has been through coming to terms with ADHD, learning ways to manage and cope. Especially if there's anyone here who is in your 20s yourself, or with adult kids newly diagnosed. What kind of things helped you/your child? I find it hard to see this from the point of view of someone only just into adulthood, too old for me to be micromanaging her, but too young to be completely at arms length.
