Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · You Might Also Like: In It: Raising Kids who Learn Differently, from Understood.org · 22 Aug 2024 podcast

But especially for an ADHD kid, I thought and I sent an email afterwards, a nice email, you know, to basically say just to be aware of particularly kids on a neurodiverse spectrum.

that I don't want the message for parents to be like, oh, you know, your kid is not independent

they need you to help them set up college tours and to sit with them while they're writing their college essays and things like that.

So that's important for parents to sort of know and work out with their kids.

And for the teenagers, because we have more exposure and sort of more independence, that means we can get into –

a lot of trouble or we can open ourselves to these great opportunities.

And I say to all of my ADHD patients, to my children, having ADHD, it's so important to know that whatever we like, we run the risk of liking too much

quickly.

And the fact is people with ADHD have up to four to six times the risk of addiction of any kind of addiction.

So of course we talk drugs and alcohol and

but it could be gambling, it could be pornography, it can be food,

can be anything.

And I've certainly seen that in my experience.

It's just part of how we're wired.

And what's important about that is because we know teenagers are going to be exposed to drugs, particularly cannabis, vaping, alcohol.

And it's important for, again, from an educational point of view, to let them know that the research shows that the bridge between

between experimentation and full-on dependence is much shorter if you have ADHD.

So you'll see lots of your peers that do these things and don't have a problem with it.

Just know that you are at high risk of having a problem with it if you like it in that way.

So having that kind of education I think is really important in having kids sort of make sense of that because there is a difference when you have ADHD of how you're going to be in the world, how you manage friendships and relationships.
