A friend's son who has ADHD ,20 years old has got a girl (18 y.o.) pregnant. The girl knew apparently that he had this problem but is insisting on keeping the pregnancy going.There is still time to terminate. My friend wishes to talk to the girl and her parents to tell the sheer horror of raising an ADHD child,how difficult it is as a couple to achieve this let alone as a single young parent.Has anyone any suggestions on how they can go about this?
The young man involved does not want children because of his childhood and appreciates he should have used contraceptive measures consistantly.The girl for her part said that she was on the pill.
Please, no moralising as to what these kids should have done,what these parents need is some constructive advice as they feel they cannot be supportive if the baby does turn out to have this problem (having gone through hell with their son) and they feel she should make a very welll informed choice.
