"People don’t understand the struggles of everyday life and the sacrifices you make on a daily basis when your children have special needs. People look at you like you are a bad parent when out in public, throw their noses up, snicker, make comments and glare. Many of the families I support are going through some situation that is similar to what I’ve been through. When caring for a child or children with special needs, behavioral problems, trauma or learning disabilities, it is hard to get through it on your own. No one should have to." — Stephanie Adams, family peer support specialist at Ellipsis Read more about Stephanie's work: https://lnkd.in/g8QvfDtn.

Because of the ideas adults have about how kids should typically behave, children and adolescents with ADHD may be seen as having more behavioral issues than kids without this diagnosis. However, we want to flip the script and help kids see some ADHD symptoms as positives, not negatives, as well as give adults the tools to better support those with this diagnosis. #ADHDAwarenessMonth #ADHD
