I think I am going to take you up on that challenge of straight A's!!!
I am definetly goung to have to learn. How to tune them out. This. Is a miracle. I have found a group of people who say " I UNDERSTAND" and I CARE. That is soo freeing.
I volunteer at my church often. I am trying to focus on school full times.

LOL, you're going to have to learn the art of tuning people out, especially those that aren't encouraging or supporting you. But I definitely understand where you're coming from. Take all the complaining and use it for your good...prove him wrong a few times. Get some straights A's and see what he says!!How is he saying your lazy if you're college? Are you working as well?

You got it my dear!!!
Search for and implement solutions. This will not conquer me.
I'm a Christian and I will stand on Phillipians 4:13. I can do all things through Yeshua that stregthens me!

Great!! It sounds like you have a plan and a solid one at that!!! Since you volunteer at church, maybe they'll support you starting a support group at your church for people with ADHD and/or other disorders to educate people with what you deal with on a day to day basis. You can inform people of what they can do if they have loved ones going through the same thing, so that they can avoid similar experiences. Be sure to invite your grandfather (and other critics) as well, so that he (they) can see that what you're going through is very real and that you're quite the busy young lady!!
Remember, you don't go through what you're going through just for you, you have to share your experiences to help others. That's why we're all here, and that's what connects us.
Well, it seems like you have a full plate with finding an ADHD coach/support, getting straight A's, finding out what works for you and what doesn't in managing your ADHD, and possibly starting a support group at your church. I'm so happy for you, and I'm glad my experiences were able to help you in some way. As yes, I'd like to think LHCF is a place where we do understand and care.
I'm really hoping the best for you, so I'd like to see a thread/post with updates on how you're doing with everything. Feel free to PM and add me as a friend.
It's getting late and DH has already gone to bed, so I'm signing off for now. Have a good night and I'll chat tomorrow.

Luthiengirlie let me tell you its definately not easy to deal with, it has bought me down to tears at times. My bf would get so fustrated me, because i would forget this, lose that and when were having a simple debate it would turn into an argument because i tend to butt in "sigh". We've been together 10 years and now that i'm realising what the problem may be he is trying to be a lot more understanding and patient and i'm tring to coach myself in to changing certain things which btw i am seeing a bit of improvement. Do not let it stop you from getting into relatonship, there will be someone that will accept all of you and i believe that people that with ADHD can overcome it if we keep trying, I'm not gonna let it ruin mine.

My son is 8,Yeah he does in like for eg losing things/forgetting where he as put things. i went to one his school parents evenings and the teacher was telling me that he just not concentrating and that they don't know what to do. When the teacher told me this, thats when i started to research, and then came across adhd.

Well I only understand but so much as my DH has it, so excuse some of my ignorance, so I really can't speak first hand about it. But I appreciate you all so much because it helps me to see what he's going through and how I should respond to certain things. So please, if there's something I could/should be doing that someone with ADHD could appreciate please let me know.
Keep us posted Kyree with you and your son. In some ways I think it's great that you can relate to what your son is going through, so he's not in it alone.
