Sometimes I look like I am daydreaming because I am thinking about a new idea.
My friends tell me I am honest which is a good thing to be, but sometimes I can be impulsive and say things that are honest but may be insensitive.
Grown-ups get cross and say I am not listening or paying attention. Sometimes I am thinking about something else when I should be getting ready for school or eating my breakfast.
Grown-ups can help me by suggesting suitable words I could use when I talk to people. I know I have to try really hard to make and keep friends. I don’t really like playing team sports, but I like things like wall climbing, skating, running, robotics and arts and crafts.
“What a warm, lively and fabulous book. An utter delight to support both children with ADHD, and their families.” – Michelle Beckett, Founder, ADHD Action
I have a strong sense of what is fair and what is unfair. I notice everything around me, so I can see when I am being treated differently to others, and it can make me cross. It helps when grown-ups ask me my opinion and let me explain. Sometimes the words come out wrong, so please be patient.
I try and listen really carefully to what grown-ups are saying to me. Sometimes I hear them but sometimes I just hear ‘blah, blah, blah’ and I can’t concentrate. It may be because I am distracted by a buzzing light, or I may notice a bird outside the window or sometimes it may be because my tummy is rumbling because I didn’t finish my breakfast.
ADHD is my superpower because I have a strong sense of what is fair.
