Re: My husband doesn't believe me

Maybe instead of self diagnosing it is time that you talked to a doctor about a actual diagnosis. This may also help you get further along in your treatment. As a few of the other posts say ADHD is often a co-morbid of other diagnosis and until you talk to a medical professional and nail down what you do and don’t have then you are doing yourself and your family a disservice. If you have watched the “ADD and Loving it” you will find that they say that a much larger proportion of the population actually believe that they are ADD and are not. There are forms on this site that you can fill out and have a co-worker or family member fill out before you take it to your doctor and open the discussion. If one or both of your parents are still alive and willing they should also fill this out because they remember more about your childhood then you do.

In the meantime you can work on some of the strategies that are available for you and of course keep advocating for your daughter. There are always going to be doubters and when you know what you are dealing with you will be more confident in the belief that you can and will be the best you that you can be. Your spouse will also be more confident when you quit self diagnosing and let a medical professional do it.
