Years ago when I was looking for a social skills group for my child, I was cautioned by multiple people to ask many questions who else would be in the group and NOT to do it if it was a group of children with Aspergers or autism. Their issues are different than ADHD-related social skills issues, and I was warned that it would be a waste of time in addition to potentially harmful to him.
I am a college student (I was first diagnosed with ADHD when I was 6 and have taken medicine since) and have experienced similiar problems. I have always done very well at school, and while to the casual observer I might just seem normal but shy at first, I have long struggled with making/keeping friends. While I have only recently learned to consciously regulate my behavior, and he will learn skills as he gets older (ie. a try very hard not to interrupt people and to ask them a lot of questions about themselves). Some programs might help with this, but when I was 7 I attended a group for kids with various psychological problems and it was somewhat scarring to be placed in a group with kids suffering from severe autism, in which I would be reprimanded for showing any juvenile enthusiasm/energy as it was a "symptom". I think this contributed to my shyness. This is certainly only my personal experience, but you also don't want to damage his self-esteem. While I have long been aware of my social problems related to ADHD, and have used the internet as a resource, whenever my parents have broached the topic I immediately become highly sensitive and defensive (even if I know my anger is irrational). Just be careful...Does anyone else have an adhd child that is doing well at school and at home
