adhd careers

I don't know where to start. I am a single mom with two ADHD children. I have very little money and very little support. I have a 9 year old daughter i am losing it big time. She reads the bible knows the 10 commandments but she breaks each one on a daily basis. some of them several times a day. She does not honor me or anything I ask of her. She is doing unforbidden things with boys her age and younger.

At an early age (5-10) my parents were told by school doctors/specialists that I demonstrated typical ADHD symptoms. Throughout school, I was disruptive, inattentive, and generally off-task nearly all the time. Humility aside for a moment, I believe myself to be a very intellectual person. Despite my disruptive nature in school, I have always excelled in nearly every subject. Because of this, an alternative diagnosis for my disruptiveness was often cited as "boredom".

m not too sure you would be okay with someone saying that about people who are ADHD....especially when people who are bipolar have some sort of ADD or ADHD...wouldn't that put you in the same boat as the rest of us? Secondly, if you dislike bipolar people so much, than why in the world would call this person a friend? That doesn't make sense. A friend is supposed to be someone you love because of who they are...not what disorder they have.

It can be many things. 1. It could be his Teachers 2. It could be His School. 3.It could be something that is happen at home that maybe you don't know about. 4.It could be Children or a Child at School. Medicaly it could aslo be many things that would need to be looked into. But most Doctors won't check for other things,and Teachers also won't think of it being anything but ADHD or ADD and sometimes both and they may even add in Bipolar.Instead of cheking evrything out.

t have the strength anymore. I have found no one who can tell me where to look at possible careers. I want to be able to work through or around my illness. I think something that can be done on a contract basis to allow for bad days would be a good idea. I've thought about a BS in nutrition or speech therapist, but can't find an on-line school for either. At this time I cannot get to a campus class reliably. Any thoughts? Thanks much.

Most medical careers require certification. You'll want to look into the various certifications and then look at prerequisites for those certifications.

Hi. My son is 10 years old with severe adhd. He has been on meds since he was 5. Recently we have had to change his meds for the first time in 5 yrs.(nightmare) I hadn't really thought about it til now but am really interested in some natural remedies for this.

But when inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior are the norm for a child, it may be a sign of ADHD. ADHD can lead to problems at home and at school, with family, teachers, and peers, so it’s important to identify the symptoms and get help.

I have heard of ADHD symptoms, I heard that it is much more easier to have fights if you have ADHD also ADHD kids act mostly, hyper, either violent(Not all), Overreacting over mainly little things. Sometimes they wonder in there own world. Having Aspergers can be different in many ways, Aspergers is when your child is having emotional problems maybe even getting embarrassed, shy, difficult education maybe even speech problems.

Did she get evaluated by a psycholigist or developmental doctor that specializes in ADHD? If she has ADHD, the first medication that you should try is Metadate CD or Ritalin. Start with a very small dosage such as 2.5mg or 5mg. If it does not work because it is not enough, keep on increasing the amount very slowly until you see that she is doing well. I am not familiar with celexa. If it is a stimulant like Ritalin, the dosage sounds too high.
