ADHD bad reputation

 

I was wondering if anyone else feels this way.

 It seems like people assume if your child has ADHD you are not a good parent.  I feel like I always have to prove to people(teachers, family, friends) that I am a good parent. YES I agree!  I feel that way a lot.  Like I need to justify everything I do with respect to my son and explain to everyone why he's behaving the way he does.  I guess it's my selfish need to have them not think I'm a bad parent!  But when I sit and think rationally I know that many of the people outside of the ADHD "community" have ABSOLUTELY NO idea what it's like to parent a child like this!  Anyone that has an ADHD child knows it's not bad parenting and others can be educated.  Everyone else just plain doesn't matter! No, when I see people glaring, I assume that they are ignorant and it doesn't go much farther.Jessica N40076.8567708333
