Re: ADHD programme on BBC2 Thurs 3rd Feb

Unfortunately I managed to miss this but am told it was very good. A friend of mine with a son who is currently awaiting assessment and diagnosis of ADHD for his son, said it gave some useful advice and coping tips.? As ADHD is fairly new to him he said he and his wife found it very helpful.
Anyone else see it?

Re: Re: ADHD programme on BBC2 Thurs 3rd Feb

I watched this programme and also video taped it. It was very interesting and informative. The programme included an ADHD adult as well as ADHD children.

A friend of mine also watched the programme and later said she thought we were all pretty amazing and that she had found the programme pretty eye opening. I told her that we're not really as we only know our children as they are and accept and deal with them as we would if they didn't have ADHD only with adaptations to suit their individuality.
