My adult DD has a diagnosis of ADHD and ASD (she thinks this diagnosis is rubbish) and has in the past tried several types of ADHD medication. To date nothing has worked. Fast forward a few years and she’s now done one year at Uni studying Law and Criminology,. Whilst she’s only just scraped through I’m not sure she’ll get through year 2 by losing confidence or interest in the subject. She’s not sure herself either.
She talks about becoming a lawyer but then does nothing to give her any further experience, ie work experience or volunteering. She doesn’t particularly like a lot of other people (me sometimes as she says I’m annoying). I’d never say anything that would knock her confidence but worry what she will do in the future? She’s now off until mid September and mainly sleeps then comes awake after 4pm. We’ve chatted about pt work but she says there isn’t any around that’s temporary.
I wonder if I’m dealing with this as I should and wonder if anyone else can shine light on how they deal with their young adults ADHD and/or ASD.?
Shes a great person but currently is driving me mad!
