Hi, I have a DD of same age who is going through therapy & assessment for suspected AuDHD. I would describe her as a bright, caring, sensitive/sometimes anxious teen (with reasons). Above everything I have tried for myself and her, the one thing that really helps us both is swimming - just breast stroke at own pace and duration - and after a few sessions we actually feel human. It's like having your battery recharged to normal.

I swim twice a week. I'd love dd you join but she won't. I'll keep trying. You're right tho it absolutely helps me reset.
Thank you
