I can relate some what. Msg me if you like as I don’t want to talk publicly about it. There’s definitely something underlying here I would say. Have you done any research yourself? I think the more info and understanding you have the better you’ll be able to be for your daughter. It’s hard when you feel powerless X
I can totally relate to this momma! My stepson was also 11 when we were having the most difficulty with him and figured it was adhd but it turned out it wasn’t. It was just plain growing up and testing the limits/not caring as much. We improved accountability at home and kept good conversations about what’s going on in his life and that helped a ton. Feel free to pm me I can help out as best I can
Sounds like ADHD and perhaps autism as well to me. It could also be sooo many other things. Have you tried asking her how she feels when these things happen? How she feels about being clumsy, losing things, having to be nagged? Try talking to her first and then go see another dr to get her help.
@Chelsea thank you so much for your kind words 😭 I will pm you xx
@Ellen we talk a lot and she says she is clueless about what she’s done wrong and she thinks it’s OK to be forgetful. She’s very optimistic and bubbly. I have been reading loads of books about sensory and emotional developments.
Ofc np! 💙
It doesn’t sound like ADHD to me personally, but could it be autism? The wearing a hoodie in the summer/thin top in the winter, not being able to use cutlery, the hair washing. Girls do tend to mask until they’re in yr11 and taking GCSE’s. Obviously, if she’s hyperactive, doesn’t stop, can’t wait her turn, can’t follow instructions (so needs to be broken down step by step), not at ‘age related expectations’, fidgety, unable to concentrate/focus on anything for a long period of time etc - then yes it could be ADHD, but again girls do also mask a lot when it comes to school.
