What about ADHD in adults?
What comes to mind when you hear the term “attention deficit hyperactivity disorder,” or ADHD? Often you visualize a kid in school who can’t sit still and always seems to get in trouble. His desk is messy, she fidgets a lot, he gets up often to sharpen his pencil, she always is gabbing to a friend and doesn’t pay attention in class, they have a reputation for being difficult and irresponsible.
What about ADHD in adults?
What thoughts come to mind?
Did you know that many individuals are not evaluated for ADHD until they are adults … or not at all?
Working with adults and children to help them overcome their ADHD struggles is important. I help evaluate clients for ADHD, and then I begin a structured problem-solving process individualized for each client’s needs.
My goal through our sessions is to help clients figure out what their obstacles are, and what they can do to overcome them.
Doing laundry seems to be a common difficult task for those with ADHD. For most people, the process is automatic, however, for a person with ADHD, it involves too many steps – from gathering the laundry, to sorting it, loading it in the washer, determining what setting to use, waiting for the wash to finish, moving it to the dryer, deciding how much time it will take to dry, waiting again, folding the laundry and putting it away. For many, it is easier not to do the laundry because the task is so overwhelming. This also shows why many people with ADHD wrongfully are labeled as lazy or procrastinators.
Through our fact-finding, problem-solving sessions, I also encourage clients to find humor. Approaching a cumbersome and complex task with humor can reduce stress and anxiety, and help clients have a clearer and more objective mindset to tackle their issue.
I also recommend body doubling. Do something with another person to get through the task with less anxiety. If you have to clean the house, for example, invite a friend over to keep you on track, and the task won’t seem so insurmountable.
It’s all about learning how to organize tasks systematically.
I also work with clients to practice mindfulness. This is a great tool for people who are super interrupters.
ADHD can be debilitating. That’s why determining if you have ADHD is critical.
Parents should be on the lookout for these signs of ADHD in their kids:
• Daydreaming often
• Forgetting or losing things a lot
• Always squirming or fidgeting
• Talking too much and too often
• Making careless mistakes or taking unnecessary risks repeatedly
• Having a hard time resisting temptation
• Having trouble taking turns
• Having difficulty getting along with others
Children with ADHD don’t grow out of it; I’m a good example. I didn’t learn I had ADHD until I was in my late 20s. The symptoms are a little different – there is more restlessness, impulsive behavior and the inability to plan or manage tasks, time and finances. ADHD in adults can cause difficulties with work life, home life, family life, friendships and relationships.
Coping with the challenges of ADHD can seem overwhelming, but there is help!
