fromthisdayforward — SO sorry — sometimes, life just gets in the way :-)! Diane wrote an article about how do you know whether it’s ADHD, or not, and the conclusion in that article was — does it matter? Bottom line is the your daughter has a neurological challenge that is interfering with her ability to lead a “successful” life — BRAVO for her getting some helpl! It’s hard to turn things around at 29, but with some determination, and your support, she can do it! Focus on every little success you can identify, and help her get clear on what she wants to change — one step at a time. THat’s critical — it won’t change over night, but with your encouragement and support, hopefully she Diane and I coach parents through over time, but it’s a hard situation to address in a quick response like this, once a “child” is really an adult! It took 29 years to get to this point — you gotta have some patience to turn things around :)!
Keep us posted — if there’s something specific we can help you with, let me know.
