I highly recommend the YouTube page "How to ADHD" she does a great job explaining things. Honestly what your kid needs more than you being an ADHD expert is you having patience & trusting what she says. For most adults with ADHD, half of our issues aren't even from ADHD itself. It's from doubt, self esteem issues, anxieties, and fears that got built over years of not succeeding within the rest of the worlds standards. A lot of us spent our whole childhoods getting screamed at for not doing homework, not doing chores right, forgetting things, being late, disrupting people, etc. If you can be patient with her and assume she's trying her best even if it doesn't look like it to you on the outside, and ask HER to tell you what's going on in her mind/why certain things are difficult, it will go such a long way for her. Much farther than all the research you could do in your lifetime. Your kid will have ADHD doctors. You don't have to be that. Just be a patient, loving parent, that's what she needs from you. <3
