sibling

 

This year, my younger brother was diagnosed with ADHD. In the
ensuing months, my family has been put to the test. My brother's
behavior has become more and more radical and unpredictable, and
my parents are having a difficult time processing all of this. My sister
and I do not have ADHD. I am the "perfect student" of the family and
my sister is the "superstar athlete," so ADHD is a terrible burden to
my brother, who, has always struggled for some type of positive
recognition. I have extensivly researched the effects of ADHD on
siblings and I have began to watch over my sister who has been very
upset but looked over because my brother's behavior is the focal
point of my parent's attention. As a student, I have many friends
who have ADHD and some of them have had alot of success in
combating their disease. I am not sure how, or even if I should,
should approach my parents because I do have some insite from
friends with ADHD who I have talked with and I want to make sure
my sister is okay.How old is your brother?
