So what do you do once your child is diagnosed with apd. Treatment is out of reach living in a smaller town.

What about chronic sensory issues in teenagers?

Thank you for the input. I just don't onow how to implement it when zhe child that would need my attention, help with emotional regulatiom, boredom and clashing with society's norms competes with my fulltime job that keeps zhe family housed and fed and the other child's "normal needs" and my need to sleep or eat or have a consistent thought for a minute or just telax for 15 minutes. All other family members and three institutions for daycare have thrown the towel bc my child is "too needy" and stresses them out too much. So, it's all on one set of shoulders. Going to a restaurant and having to entertain my special child all the time while still giving the other child enough attention so he doesn't feel.left out and also regulating the father's emotions bc he's much easier stressed out and needs being calmed down also is such a grim outlook that I refuse to go to a restaurant as a family. Your ideas work for moms who can refill their tanks once in a while also, so no fulltime job or help with the kids or the household so mummy has the energy to come up with interesting or soothing games to help the special child. But for moms.like me we can only avoid the meltdowns by depriving ourselves of sleep and hiding our special kid from the world. We go on playgrounds at night, so my child doesn't get overloaded with kids noises. We buy groceries online bc our child can't endure a aupermarket situation and we can't find a family member who would either get the groceries for us or watch the child while we do it. I haven't been to a doctor or dentist for several years for myself bc all the free time my job allows is fot appointments for the kids. We've gone through dozens of babysitters who never came back bc they found more manageable kids than mine. So, it's me and only me and there're just 24 hours in my day every day.

Could we have missed anything else?

I suspect that my family has adhd & both my children and I have trouble sleeping. Both stopped napping at 2. I can never get work done because they’re up just as late as I am.

hello I just wanted to know how to diagnose adhd in a two and half year old boy

That was useful to hear. I’m seeing a psychiatrist at the moment and he’s diagnosed me with bipolar however I feel I may have adhd too. I’m seeing him tomorrow so I’m hoping he will hear me out and come up with a plan to help me

beautiful explanation and interview!

Anything for adults?

I can't follow this guy speaking.

Thank you

Wonderful video!!! Thank you. I’m curious about comorbid ADHD and OCD. Best.

Hi! Could you please link us to the rest of the videos in this series?

Great video

I have known I have had ADHD since I heard of it but certainly things haver changed dramatically. In the last 7 years my moods have become so disregulated, it doesn't just feel like ADHD anymore. My other symptoms are pretty much the same as they have always been but the deregulation is off the scale. I'm starting to wonder if I have late onset bipolar. It's so hard to separate the ADHD, autism and how I feel in myself. This is so helpful

It can be

I'm a grownup but still watching for myself😜

Thank you for spreading awareness! I have 4 kids with SPD, 2 are autistic and 1 has ADHD.

Very interesting to hear this, thank you. As a mother of a late teen who is very disorganised and has terrible intrusive thoughts, she was first treated for OCD for 2 years. When the OCD symptoms lessened, she then had very strong ADHD behaviours showing. Apparently the latest research is showing that OCD, depression and anxiety can be CAUSED by the child trying to cope and control their ADHD.

Thank you for bringing Dianne on. I am sad I didn’t find this sooner, but no time like the present, I suppose. Thankful God gave her these insights!

This video gave no actionable advice on getting my ADHD kid to bed. She's 9 years old and refuses tovaleep in her bed. We refuse to let her sleep in ours so she sleeps on the couch with my wife or myself. Whoever turn it is.

This was really great! So helpful. I'm eager to check out the resources and share this interview with others. Thank you Veronica and Dr. Liz.

I picked your video out of all videos, my 9yr.d has a hard time even taking clonidine to sleep

I wish spd would be official diagnosis

Please repost the link

The music in this video is very triggering. Why wouldn't you choose something more calming when discussing SPD.

Extremely helpful !

I got diagnosed with OCD and ADHD right before I left for my second year of college and it finally made sense. My parents never understood my need for paper plates and plastic utensils; or when I would throw a fit when one of my sisters would steal the outfit I had laid out the night before and I felt like my whole day was ruined because I planned on wearing those clothes and it’s no longer in my control.

Genius! I've got to learn more!!!

Based on the literature I have read I am more convinced my daughter has APD not ADHD , but pediatrician in Fl does not help with referral can you recommend audiologist in south florida specialized in this area

Well I have bipolar 2 and adhd. Doctors should get info from patients not books.

I have one child and had years of adhd until I told school to get lost knew it was sensory and auditory I’m still struggling to advocate and he is now 12.. wish more people like you made videos.. people perceive him as attention seeking but it’s not..

How do i FIGURE OUT WHERE TO GO TO DO TESTING FOR APD IM DEF ADHD INATTENTIVE BUT NO ONE IN MY TOWN SAYS THEY DONT HAVE THE RIGHT TESTING FOR APD OF EVER HEARD OF AUDITORY PROCESSING DISORDER

It took me 17 years to get the diagnosis of Bipolar 2. Now, its noted that I exhibit symptoms of adhd inattentive, but I cannot take stimulants as it triggers a manic state. x.x Problem is i also have sleep apnea so it is hard to deduce what is really wrong when i cannot correct the other ongoing issues. But i had the same psychiatrist for 6 years and he was able to see the fluctuations and cyclical behaviors associated with Bipolar 2.

This guy talks way too slow

I wish there were more specialized doctors like her because our 5 year old has needlessly struggled because of misdiagnoses. Her speech delay was being treated without improvement and we knew it was more going on but they wouldn't test...it took us to move to another state to finally get a solid treatment plan. she is a different kid now - the melt downs and frustrations are so few now. She is actually learning now.

Thank you for this wonderful video

Do you find it helpful to assess For retained primitive Reflexes in your clinic? I have read on google that some Occupational therapists do that assessment

I always had tantrums at school, i hated every minute of it, i had a very traumatic childhood growing up, alot of abuse, struggled making connections with people, always had anxiety, alot of fear, struggled in relationships, my family connections, i hate bright lights, always feeling frustrated and angry, i do alot of repeatative stuff like playing the same game for hours but just standing there looking at the screen and pressing a single button and watching my character just spin around rather than playing it, ive struggled with sleep, cant stay focused for very long get bored fast, ive only learnt about autism and adhd recently but spd is completely new to me and im now asking myself do i have this condition, i have alot of hobbies but cant seem to stick to them for long periods of time, i use to have alot of dizzy spells and falls ive hurt people when ive never ment to hurt them and always hate myself after and want to take revenge on myself for making them suffer, im always crying when things get to much for me, ive self harmed, been close to suicide also a few times, I was also stabbed in my head and punched as a child which caused me to become slightly deaf, my head feels so overwhelmed at times i wish i had a switch to turn my brain off its bothering me just talking about it here but i really need help and i wouldnt reach out but im desperate to know whats wrong with me, im a 45 yr old man and i need to get to the bottom of this because, i hate living with this rage inside me, i dont like fighting but when people yell at me i just flip, im always moody and only happy when im alone doing what i like doing in my own safe and secure space

My life!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭 I always knew I had some sensory processing sensitivities, I just didn’t know the name or the details of it. I believe that it’s in conjunction with working memory challenges which causes the attention deficit problems In my ADD. I don’t have hyperactivity.

I love carols way of thinking shes amazing

I'm sorry, but I haven't heard of this as a Disorder: I know of Sensory Processing Sensitivity; Sensory Processing Sensitivity; HSPs, i.e., those with this innate characteristic found among 15-20% of humans and most mammal animal species. This trait of heightened sensitivity to varied signals received seemingly intuitively waa 1st brought to light by Elain Aaron. It brings gifts and challenges, but to my knowledge is not a Disorder. In fact, in life's early days, it helped numerous communities survive, with alertness to nature, wildlife, or tribal dangers. Pls, what source is now referencing this as a Disorder? (as loved or hated it may be, who's termed it a Disorder?

I’m diagnosed adhd. I definitely think i have ocd* because my mom does too.

Damn the morality and thinking people going to think I am gay or crazy thoughts are what I been having lately and it’s been making me insane! I have had moderate to high OCD, Anxiety, PTSD and Depression and in my 40’s now I have absolutely no energy, clumsy, very shaky but always running in my chair non stop! I hear people talking in code about me and paranoid. I think I lost my mind and can’t even get mental health fast enough. I go to see a mental health doctor finally in 4 days and not sure if they are going to put me in a funny farm or can even help all the issues I have and it all has come to a head 2+ years ago when my wife of last 20 years passed away unexpectedly and both parents passed away. I have had these symptoms since I can remember but it has become debilitating and I just quit my job and started living in my car out of paranoia and anxiety issues and I loved my job :(. I pray I can get medication to at least help me somewhat or I truly believe I am going to unlive myself with the stress and depression this has caused me and the thoughts of doing such a thing truly seem to be more of a hope then a possible bad decision 😢 I can’t imagine the amount of conflicting medications I would even require for my collection of problems 🤦

My dumb butt has both adhd and spd

🧍🏻 this woman is like describing my life

Thanks for this video.i just want learn more
