Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 019a: Slow Processing Speed — What It Is and How to Support Kids Who Have It · 10 Nov 2023 podcast

your child is finding, you know, if you're finding that your child's not doing that, there's usually a pretty good reason.

So I would say sometimes that early elementary school time is a good time to do that.

Now, some of these kids will already have been diagnosed with ADHD or with a learning disability, and the processing speed is just a layer of that or, you know, to that.

But what happens is sometimes you've got a child with ADHD, you find great ways to treat the ADHD, either medication or medication.

things in the environment that you're changing, but somehow life doesn't get that much easier.

And sometimes it's the processing speed that is the thing that's just, that really makes life more difficult.

get them to pay attention, you can sit them in the front of the class, all that sort of stuff.

But when it's, you know, when it's time to actually do the stuff that needs to be done, that's where it can get, you know, pretty difficult still.

Sometimes I find for parents that just getting a diagnosis or just looking at a child's profile can be so therapeutic in a way.

You know, I've had parents say, okay, so I can't really expect him to be that fast at this.

And I would say, yeah, that's right, that that's just something that you just need to be aware of.

And they're like, well, okay, I can live with that then.
